USER INTERFACE FOR HOST PORT ASSIGNMENT

摘要

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.

主权项

1. A computer program product for providing a storage management interface to manage host ports in a computing system having a server and one or more hosts, wherein the computer program product comprises a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause operations, the operations comprising:
maintaining data structures for storing host port assignment configuration data identifying host ports in the server assigned to an associated host; detecting unassigned host ports which have not been identified as being assigned to an associated host; generating a graphical user interface (GUI) page indicating unassigned host ports comprising at least one of the host ports not assigned to a host; receiving in the GUI page, user selection of at least one of the unassigned host ports indicated in the GUI page; receiving user selection of a host to assign to the selected at least one of the unassigned host ports; and updating the data structures for storing host port assignment configuration data to indicate the host assigned to the selected at least one of the unassigned host ports.
