Abstract
A technique manages a storage system. In particular, multiple cable lists associated with multiple nodes included in the storage system are acquired, respectively, a cable list including an identifier of cable of at least one cable for connecting a node of the multiple nodes with a node other than the node. A distance between a first node in the multiple nodes and a second node in the multiple nodes is determined based on a comparison between a first cable list associated with the first node and a second cable list associated with the second node in the multiple cable lists. A network structure of the storage system is determined based on the distance between the first node and the second node. Accordingly, the distances between the nodes can be determined in a simple and effective manner, and thus the network structure of the storage system can be determined.
