For an interactive experience, I'd agree.

Which is my only need, currently.  But as you say, given that lio_node
is CLI, it makes it easy to automatically shell script up a
configuration based on devices found on a node, etc. without requiring a
user to drive the interface.  I don't know if targetcli really has any
way to drive it from a shell script like that.

Except that RHAT's implementation does not include the iscsi spec so it
can't configure iscsi without one manually dropping the spec in.  Not a
biggie, just a note to mention that RHAT doesn't really officially
support configuring iscsi with it.  But then again, they don't ship and
support the target driver either -- at the EL6 level at least.
