Abstract
In some examples, a management system receives, from a first storage system, first port information of ports in the first storage system, and receives, from a second storage system, second port information of ports in a second storage system. The management system merges the first port information from the first storage system and the second port information from the second storage system into merged port information. The management system receives, from the first storage system, a request for port information of ports in the second storage system, and sends, to the first storage system, the second port information for use in path selection from hosts to the first and second storage systems.
