If you show us output from your environment, we will be able to explain a lot better. 

Firstly, look at output of 'df -h'. 
Find the mountpoint that you are interested in. 
The volume name and diskgroup will be on the left (as per @Apurv_Barve's example).
Yours will look different - what you need to look for are the last 2 'entries' :
/dev/vx/dsk/<diskgroup>/<volume-name>

Next, show us output of 
vxprint -ht <diskgroup> 

vxdisk -e list 
will show us how VxVM disk-name is linked to OS device name. 

If the whole concept of 'diskgroup' , VxVM disk-name, volumes, subdisk, etc are new to you, maybe best to ask your company to send you on 5-day Instructor-led training (virtual or classroom).

Hi,

You can run following commands to identify which LUN maps to which mount point. I am pasting a sample example:

# vxdg list
NAME STATE ID
sfsdg enabled,shared,cds 1546341021.293.b4u2
# mount | grep sfsdg
/dev/vx/dsk/sfsdg/stripevol on /vx/vol1 type vxfs (rw,mntlock=VCS,cluster,crw,delaylog,largefiles,ioerror=mdisable)

vxprint -g sfsdg

...
v stripevol fsgen ENABLED 209715200 - ACTIVE - -
pl stripevol-01 stripevol ENABLED 209715200 - ACTIVE - -
sd b4u4003_disk_137-01 stripevol-01 ENABLED 52428800 0 - - -
sd b4u2000_disk_4-01 stripevol-01 ENABLED 52428800 0 - - -
sd b4u6005_disk_93-02 stripevol-01 ENABLED 52428800 0 - - -
sd b4u5004_disk_93-02 stripevol-01 ENABLED 52428800 0 - - -

# vxdisk -e list b4u4003_disk_137
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS OS_NATIVE_NAME ATTR
b4u4003_disk_137 auto:cdsdisk b4u4003_disk_137 sfsdg online shared sdq -

# vxdisk list b4u4003_disk_137 | grep -i udid
udid: SEAGATE%5FST10000NM0096%5FDISKS%5F5000C500A64A5F88

So, here disk device "sdq" is represented as "b4u4003_disk_137" in VxVM and is part of a stripe volume "stripevol" which is mounted at "/vx/vol1".

Hi, 

Thanks for your explaination, i just want to clarify

so the LUN is mounted in /dev/vx/dsk/sfsdg/stripevol before it was assigned by infoscale, /vx/vol1 is mounted after its is assigned, sdq is UDID, b4u4003_disk_137 is a?

Hi,

sdq is OS disk device.

b4u4003_disk_137 is VxVM representation of OS disk device sdq.

/dev/vx/dsk/sfsdg/stripevol is VxVM volume. It is stripe type of volume created using 4 disks - one of it is b4u4003_disk_137(sdq).

/vx/vol1 is the directory where the VxVM volume is mounted on.

UDID of device b4u4003_disk_137(sdq) is SEAGATE%5FST10000NM0096%5FDISKS%5F5000C500A64A5F88.
