Abstract
A graphical representation of available Storage Area Networks (SANs) and of available hosts is displayed. Storage is provisioned from a selected SAN to a selected host in response to dragging and dropping the graphical representation of the selected SAN into the graphical representation of the selected host. Thus, a drag-and-drop metaphor may be used to facilitate storage provisioning. Related methods, systems and computer program products are disclosed.
