Jumbo Frames for vPower NFS repository - possible?

[mixolydian]

Does anyone know how to get jumbo frames for the vPower NFS repository for increased performance when running a VM from a backup set?

Thank you,

Brian

Jumbo frames are enabled at the network layer. If you have jumbo frames configured on the server which host your vPower NFS service, and you have the proper jumbo frame configuration on the ESXi hosts and the network, they will be used. You can test whether jumbo frames is configured correctly on the ESXi host and vPower NFS host by using the vmkping as documented in VMware KB 2002197.
