Techniques for managing a storage system involve: determining a size of a data information indicating area in the storage system, the data information indicating area indicating content information related to a slice group including multiple slices, the slice group being the smallest data granularity for storage processor access associated with the storage system; determining a correspondence between the size of the data information indicating area and a size of the slice group; and determining, based on the size of the data information indicating area and the correspondence, the size of the slice group. Accordingly, bandwidth of a communication message interface which interconnects storage processors and is utilized heavily by system components can be saved. Additionally, cross-storage processor message communication for access to data information indicating area from input and output paths can be eliminated. Furthermore, communication message interface resource contention can be relieved, and overall system performance can be improved.
