Hello Tregaron, > - Issues with interpreting success/failure on targetcli as mentioned above > - Inability to set everything via the shell (ex: vpd-unit-serial) > - Slow performance of the shell at large scale of exports (10 minute > save/restore with thousands of targets) > - We wanted perl, not python I'm also a perl shop. Do you care to share what you did in perl? I would appreciate it. I only have 100s of LUNs and not 1000s of them, but since I'm configuring them every weekend, I would appreciate. I also wonder how you being a hoster handling to have 1000s of LUNs on only a few targets. Because you must also have the discovery problem: Every initiator discovers all the targets nevertheless they have access to them and you probably have multiple customers on one target so you want multi tenancy as well. But now that I ask the question, I already know the answer: You use chap authentication. Is this assumption right?
