Nimble Storage connected to Nexus 5k Jumbo Frame issue

[gadens_adam28]

Hi,

We have a Nimble Storage CS300 connected to Nexus 5k. The way Nexus 5k Jumbo frame configuration is using Policy Map instead of specified in the interface. The problem that we have is when we configure Nimble using Jumbo Frame the iSCSI connection will get drop /freeze.  Is there any documentation or example of configuration on how enable Jumbo Frame in Nexus k for Nimble?

Hi Adam, did you get a resolution to your problem?

In my experience, Jumbo Frames cause more issues than their worth for that extra 2-5% performance bump!
