Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method, a device, and a computer program product for managing a storage system. The storage system includes a first control node, a second control node, and a persistent storage device, the first control node being in an activated state, and the second control node being in a state of transfer from a non-activated state to an activated state. A method includes: loading a first list of page descriptors of the storage system to the second control node to generate a second list of page descriptors at the second control node, the first list including a portion of multiple page descriptors of the storage system that has been modified but has not been flushed to the persistent storage device; receiving a synchronization message from the first control node that indicates that the first list has been modified by the first control node; and updating the second list at the second control node based on the synchronization message. Further, a corresponding device and a corresponding program product are provided. With the example implementations of the present disclosure, the start performance of the control nodes in the storage system can be improved.
