<li>Do one of the following.
|
|
<ol type="a">
|
|
<li>If all Windows endpoints will use an iSCSI network having a maximum frame
|
|
size of 1500 bytes or greater, configure the iSCSI HBA <span>Ethernet frame size</span> at all Windows endpoints to a value as large as possible
|
|
without exceeding the most constrained iSCSI network's maximum frame
|
|
size.</li>
|
|
<li>If any Windows endpoint will use an iSCSI network having a maximum frame
|
|
size less than 1500 bytes, configure the virtual Ethernet <span>Maximum frame size</span> at all Windows endpoints to a value is as large as
|
|
possible without exceeding the most constrained iSCSI network's maximum
|
|
frame size.</li></ol></li>
|
|
<li>At other endpoints, set the MTU to a value determined by subtracting 116
|
|
from the smaller of the Windows iSCSI HBA <span>Ethernet
|
|
frame size</span> and the virtual Ethernet <span>Maximum
|
|
frame size</span>. For i5/OS™ endpoints, you can accomplish this by performing

the following procedure.

of interest and select <span class="bold">Properties</span>.</li>

<li>On the <span class="bold">Advanced</span> tab, type the calculated value in
