Abstract

Techniques involve: in accordance with a detection that an initiator port of a host is connected to a target port of a storage system, obtaining setup information from the host, the setup information at least comprising device identification information of the host and port identification information of the initiator port; determining a device object corresponding to the host and a port object corresponding to the initiator port, the device object being identified by the device identification information and the port object being identified by the port identification information; and associating the port object with the device object, the storage system managing access to a logical storage space of the host via the initiator port through the device object and the port object. Such techniques implement faster and more accurate automatic storage management for the host and the initiator port, improve management efficiency, and reduce the possibility of errors.
