Abstract
Techniques manage a storage system. Such techniques involve, in response to receiving a request to add a first number of disks to a storage resource pool in the storage system, determining whether the first number of disks are to be added to the storage resource pool in a plurality of phases. Such techniques further involve determining a second number of disks to be added to the storage resource pool in the first phase. Such techniques further involve determining first information on a first disk array group to be created with the second number of disks in the first phase. Such techniques further involve adding the second number of disks to the storage resource pool in the first phase by creating the first disk array group based on the first information. Such techniques enable a user to obtain an available capacity of the extended storage resource pool quickly and efficiently.
