Change Lefthand MTU

Nikumba · 30 Jul 2013 at 10:37

We have a stack of HP P4500 Lefhands that I need to change the MTU on from 9000 back to 1500.

Now for the life of me I can not find the option in the GUI and nor can I find the answer in Google.

Anyone know how this is done?

Thanks

HP Lefthands are SANs so the setting needs to be set there, our newer ones have an MTU of 1500 so it would appear possible it can be set as both running SANiQ 10.5 with all the current updates

Our SAN switches, and VM hosts are all set to 1500, so changing the lefthand is the easier option

Configuring jumbo frames on your switches and hypervisors is still the better option.

Why? As everything we have looked at would suggest unless you are running 10Gbe you will not get a massive performance increase by using jumbo frames
