My company is a reseller of NetApp.I will deploy an F740 (6.1R1) for SAP , Lotus environment at a customer. Firstly I did the demo there and connected an RS6000 to the filer directly via gigabit interface. For better performance I wanted to enable jumbo frames and enabled it as manuals described and the customer did the configuration on the IBM side. But it did not work.

because of the performance over gigabit(1500) and the functionality of the filer (snaprestore indeed) they decided to buy the filer. I will install it to their live environment where the servers will be connected to the filer via cisco gigabit switch.

If anybody enabled jumbo frames in such environment the configuration of IBM will be very helpful. I dont think the problem is the Filer.

thanks

I am about to deploy a 740 as the content store for a www server farm and also as storage for a farm of windows media encoders. The idea popped into my head that jumbo frames on a gig link might be what I need to help keep the load on the filer down. Does anyone have any experiences with jumbo frames on a toaster or just jumbo frames in general (a little OT I know)? Thank you.
