Abstract
Provided are a method, system, and program for providing information on a network storage system. Information is received from host systems identifying storage units the host systems access through at least one identified storage system. The at least one storage system is probed to determine storage units available through the storage system and an identifier of the storage system. The information received from the host systems on storage units the host systems access and the information probed from the at least one storage system on the storage units available through the storage system are processed to determine an association of host systems to storage units for the at least one storage system.
