1. A computer-implemented method of indicating a failover data path in a graphical user interface environment, said method comprising:
- graphically displaying at least one source device;
graphically displaying at least one target device;
graphically displaying a first data path between at least one source device and at least one target device; and
in response to a failure in the first data path;
graphically indicating the failure in the first data path; and
graphically displaying a failover data path.
