Does anyone know this value, or how to figure out it out? I haven't found anything easily so far.

I have a need to stripe a large (for us) database across as many disks as possible, so I want to make sure the backend LUNs are using the same stripe size as Oracle (64k).

And yes I know it sounds weird for a database, but I have an enormous amount of sequential io on ite, so I'm trying to make it as fast as I can on the SAN.
 
I think that value you are looking for is "Segement Size" it is defined when binding the LUN, it is in blocks (512 bytes or 1/2 k), so you will need to set your segement to 128 blocks if you want your reads / writes to be in increments of 64k...
