Hey everyone,
Long story short, I had to configure a last minute SAN using TrueNas.
The setup is pretty straight forward, and the details are in my signature.
The important part is that it's connected using ISCSI over 10GB SFP+ fibers.
The thing is that it was late, I was tired and I forgot to set the MTU of one of the interface in TRUENAS to 9000.
All interface in the ESXI are set at MTU 9000.
I really don't see any performance difference, but was wondering if it's worth changing the MTU if the SAN stays for long-time usage (waiting for the new SAN to arrive).
There might be unforseen consequences that I'm not aware of that may affect stability?
I'm not sure if the MTU sets itself at 9000 if the host is the initiator for the connection?
Thanks for your wisdom.
