How can I reload LIO/target-cli?

["Sebastian Nielsen" <sebastian@xxxxxxxx>]

I have a LIO iSCSI target with disks that are mounted/initalized AFTER boot 
with the help of a rc.local script. (eg, they don’t exist in /dev at all 
until some commands has been run)

However, when LIO loads at boot, it finds that the backstores are 
nonexistant, and deletes them, causing the connected LUNs to be invalid.
Is it some way to disable this behaviour, so it keeps non-existant drives in 
/backstores, AND is it possible in some way to reload LIO with the help of a 
command? (that I can put in the rc.local script once all disks in /dev has 
been bringed up).
Clearing LIO (deleting all backstores, target and LUNS) and then 
reinitalizing the LIO with new backstores and LUNS in the rc.local script 
are acceptable too, if they can be done entirely from a script. Seems I need 
to echo things into target-cli right?

Any ideas?

Best regards, Sebastian Nielsen
