Solution :

Get ouput of powermt in a file

# powermt display dev=all > powermt.old

Get all disk names in one file e.g. test.txt
Run a for loop which will get LUN id of each disk described in file.

# for i in `cat test`
do
cat powermt.old |grep -A 2 $i|grep Logical|awk '{print $3}'|cut -d= -f2
done

You will be presented with the list of LUN ids for respective disks in the test.txt file!

Vice versa: Get disk names by giving LUN ids in text.txt file.

# for i in `cat test`
do 
cat powermt.old |grep -B 2 $i|grep Pseudo|awk '{print $2}'|cut -d= -f2
done
