IBM provides a RPM file named "lsvpd" specifically for Linux on Power boxes. Included in this RPM file is the "lscfg" command. After you have it installed, you can run it to see the location information you were asking about:

Code:
hostname:/root:$ uname -a
Linux hostname 2.6.16.60-0.21-ppc64 #1 SMP Tue May 6 12:41:02 UTC 2008 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux
hostname:/root:$ rpm -qa | grep lsvpd
lsvpd-1.6.5-1
hostname:/root:$ lscfg | grep sdb
+ sdb              U9117.570.100255F-V7-C15-T1-L1-L0
hostname:/root:$

This RPM, and many others, are referenced in the "IBM PowerVM Virtualization Manageing and Monitoring" Redbook on page 274 (Section 6.3 Dynamc LPAR operations on Linux for Power). It is a good read. This is the URL for the Redbook: IBM Redbooks | IBM PowerVM Virtualization Managing and Monitoring

NAME
rpm2cpio - convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive SYNOPSIS
rpm2cpio [file.rpm] DESCRIPTION
The rpm2cpio utility converts the .rpm file specified as its sole argument to a cpio archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no argu- ment is given, an rpm stream is read from standard input. In both cases, rpm2cpio will fail and print a usage message if the standard out- put is a terminal. Therefore, the output is usually redirected to a file or piped through the cpio(1) utility. EXAMPLES
