iSCSICPL.EXE in Hyper-V R2 Server Core and HVS

One of the challenges when building a Hyper-V R1 cluster, when you are using Server Core and leveraging iSCSI as your storage array, is learning the iSCSICLI.EXE command line syntax. Typically you found yourself running commands like this:

iscsicli QAddTargetPortal <Portal IP Address>

iscsicli QloginTarget <target_iqn>

iscsicli PersistentLoginTarget <target_iqn> T * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 0 (YES, that is 15 asterisks separated by spaces)

iscsicli ListPersistentTargets

However, with the release of Hyper-V R2 and Hyper-V Server iSCSICPL.EXE is included and so that means no more iSCSICLI.EXE.
