LUN Hunt within VCenter VMs

In an effort to try to clean up old, possibly unused LUNs, I'm looking for an efficient way to determine if particular LUNs are in use at a VM level within the Hosts & Clusters of a given Virtual Center installation, short of going into Edit Settings for each and every VM, looking for the LUNs in question...

something like RVTools will give you a quick inventory of your VI. It may be useful

Okay, so nothing 'built-in' that would perform that function?

Is your recommended solution a free download or for pay?

yes, the above is a free solution. You can also leverage something like PowerCLI

Is PowerCLI vSphere dependent? I ask because we have not fully upgraded (we have a vSphere cluster and the rest, where the LUNs in question are, is 3.5 still...)

No, PowerCLI is not vSphere4 dependent.  You should drop on by the community, there are some real expert coders there, that can help you with anything.
