On a DSS-G you can hop onto one of the servers and do

lsscsi | grep disk | grep -v RAID | awk 'END {print NR/2}'

The number should be the number of disks that you have including the log 
tip drives. If it's not then there is a path issue. I would imagine it's 
the same on the ESS.

If I thought about it for a bit you could ditch the two greps and do it 
all in Awk. If the Awk is too complicated just replace it with 'wc -l' 
but you will end up with a number that should be twice the number of drives.
