Techniques for data processing involve creating a source group including a first storage system and a target group including a plurality of storage systems. Such techniques further involve selecting a second storage system from the plurality of storage systems in the target group based on the performance of the plurality of storage systems in the target group. Such techniques further involve copying data in the first storage system to the second storage system. Accordingly, automatic data migration can be achieved, thus improving the security of data and the availability of storage systems.

Data copying using a source group and a target group of data storage systems

Techniques, which provide visual representations, involve displaying, in a first display area, a plurality of first visual representations indicating a plurality of storage nodes in a storage system, the plurality of storage nodes in the storage system having data replication relations, and the data replication relations including: replication of first data at a first storage node to one or more second storage nodes, and/or replication of second data at one or more second storage nodes to the first storage node. The techniques further involve displaying, in the first display area, a plurality of second visual representations indicating a plurality of data replication relations between the plurality of storage nodes. Accordingly, respective storage nodes in the storage system in a topology view can be visualized, and data replication relations between the respective storage nodes can be clearly described.

Techniques for performing system management may include: defining groups, wherein each group includes one or more systems managed using a management application; selecting a scoping level, wherein the scoping level selected is one of multiple scoping levels including an all systems level, a group level, and an individual system level, wherein selecting the group level includes selecting a particular one of the multiple groups, and wherein selecting the individual system level includes selecting a particular one of the systems managed using the management application; and performing one or more operations in accordance with the scoping level. Information may be displayed in accordance with the selected scoping level. The multiple scoping levels may include multiple levels of groups. The scoping level may be selected using a menu of a graphical user interface of the management application. The systems may be data storage systems, such as data storage arrays.
