Abstract
In a storage management interface to manage host ports in a computing system having a server and one or more hosts, a user interface is provided to facilitate assigning host ports to an associated host. In one embodiment, the user interface detects unassigned host ports which have not been identified as being assigned to an associated host, and generates a graphical user interface (GUI) page indicating unassigned host ports. User selection of at least one of the unassigned host ports indicated in the GUI page is received as well as user selection of a host to assign to the selected unassigned host ports. Once the assignment is completed, data structures storing host port assignment configuration data are updated to indicate the host assigned to the selected host ports.
