Abstract
An apparatus in one embodiment includes at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory. The at least one processing device is configured to maintain in a host device a data structure characterizing an ordered arrangement of available initiator-target pairs corresponding to respective paths between the host device and a storage system, to obtain a data copy offload command to offload a data copy operation from the host device to the storage system, to select a particular path for delivery of the data copy offload command from the host device to the storage system based at least in part on the ordered arrangement of available initiator-target pairs characterized by the data structure, and to send the data copy offload command from the host device to the storage system using the selected path.
