Hi,
I don't know the DS4500 storage. I will assume it is similar to its "big brothers" DS6xxx and DS8xxx. We have a DS6800 and a DWS8100 on a SAN. On AIX we installed MPIO drivers and utilities (SDD PCM). One of these utilities is "pcmpath". If you execute "pcmpath query device" it shows a list of all your hdisks with a serial number. Using these serial numbers you can lookup the LUNs on your DS4500 using a command like "lsfbvol" on dscli. I am assuming you are using dscli, but you can use also use the web interface.
For more details take a look at "http://www-304.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/supportresources?taskind=3&brandind=5000028&familyind=5329608&typeind=0&modelind=0&osind=0"
Hope it helps.

Hi All,
I have mirrored SAN volume on my B80 rootvg. Can I just remove the mirror and "Remove a P V from a V G" and it will be a diskless AIX?
Is that going to boot on SAN rootvg volume?
Thanks in advance,

UHSO(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual UHSO(4)
NAME
uhso -- support for several HSxPA devices from Option N.V.
SYNOPSIS
The module can be loaded at boot time by placing the following line in loader.conf(5):
uhso_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The uhso driver provides support for several HSxPA devices from Option N.V. that are based on their packet interface. Each device has a set
of serial ports and a raw IP packet interface. The serial ports of the device are accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes them
behave like tty(4) devices. The packet interface is exposed as a network interface.
Establishing a connection on the packet interface is achieved by using the proprietary AT commands ``AT_OWANCALL'' and ``AT_OWANDATA'' on any
of the available serial ports.
The network interface must be configured manually using the data obtain from these calls.
Each device usually have at least two or more serial ports, their individual purpose can be identified through sysctl(8). Ports identified
as ``Modem'' features a normal modem interface that can be used with PPP. Ports identified as ``Diagnostic'' uses a proprietary binary
interface used for firmware upgrades, this port does not have a AT command interface and can not be used to control the device. Other ports
features an AT command interface that can be used for normal device control.
HARDWARE
The uhso driver should work with most devices from Option. The following devices have been verified to work
o Option GlobeSurfer iCON 7.2 (new firmware)
o Option GlobeTrotter Max 7.2 (new firmware)
o Option iCON 225
o Option iCON 452
o Option iCON 505
The device features a mass storage device referred to as ``Zero-CD'' which contains drivers for Microsoft Windows; this is the default mode
for the device. The uhso driver automatically switches the device from ``Zero-CD'' mode to modem mode. This behavior can be disabled by
setting hw.usb.uhso.auto_switch to 0 using sysctl(8).
FILES
/dev/cuaU?.?
EXAMPLES
Establishing a packet interface connection using the AT command interface available at one of the serial ports
AT+CGDCONT=1,,"apn.provider"
AT_OWANCALL=1,1,1
OK
_OWANCALL=1,1
AT_OWANDATA=1
_OWANDATA: 1, 10.11.12.13, 0.0.0.0, 10.2.3.4, 10.2.3.5,
0.0.0.0, 0.0.0.0, 72000
Configuring the interface
ifconfig uhso0 10.11.12.13 up
route add default -interface uhso0
echo "nameserver 10.2.3.4" > /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 10.2.3.5" >> /etc/resolv.conf
The connection can be terminated with
AT_OWANCALL=1,0,1
