Abstract
A method for allocating storage space is provided. The method includes receiving an assignment of an interconnect bay port to a zone group, wherein the interconnect bay port corresponds to a switch that operatively couples a storage controller to the zone group. The method also includes sending a command to the switch to determine whether the storage controller is operatively coupled to the interconnect bay port. The method also includes generating a display that indicates whether the storage controller is operatively coupled to the interconnect bay port.
