SCSI and SAN

Yes, right by analyzing camcontrol devlist it can be told, but i guess not 
always.

[root at qa7 ~]# camcontrol devlist
<IFT A16F-G2422 348C>              at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass0)
<IFT A16F-G2422 348C>              at scbus0 target 0 lun 1 (da1,pass1)
<IFT A16F-G2422 348C>              at scbus0 target 0 lun 2 (da2,pass2)
<IFT A16F-G2422 348C>              at scbus0 target 0 lun 3 (da3,pass3)

Here luns are increasing, so it is SAN confirmed by tool. Now my point is if i 
have a SAN of less than 1TB and i make only 1 LUN. what should be output?
guessing: similar to
<IFT A16F-G2422 348C>              at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass0)

Then it will be difficult to tell, whether it is regular SCSI drives or SAN. 
Then we need a tool that can tell this da0 belongs to SAN/SCSI or not
