Abstract
A user interface facilitates copying data between storage resources, such as servers. A user selects a source storage resource and a target storage resource. Available adapters are displayed through which a path can be established between the selected source and target storage resources. The user selects at least one of the available adapters to configure the path to copy data from the selected source storage resource to the selected target storage resource. The list of available adapters is dynamically updated so that only currently available adapters are displayed. The displayed adapters may be further limited to those that are compatible with a certain path type selected by the user, such as adapters used for a unidirectional or a bi-directional path.
