Optimizing a 2920-24G for iSCSI

I'm intalling a medium Nimble Storage CS300 w/ 1GbE and 3 VMware nodes.  Going to use two ProCurve 2920-24G switches for the iSCSI and vMotion traffic.  I understand this isn't the best switch due to per-port buffers, but I'm getting the blessing from my VAR and a Nimble engineer due to my environment and aggregating several 1GbE ports.

 

I'll have 7 ports for iSCSI on each switch and 3 ports for vMotion on each switch.  There will be a VLAN for iSCSI, a VLAN for vMotion, and a VLAN for management.

 

I'm looking at optmizing the 2920 the best for my iSCSI traffic.  I've read about QoS queues on the other higher end switches and those commands seem to be on my 2920 with the latest firmware.

 

Has anyone used a 2920 for iSCSI and did you have any issues?

 

How did you setup the queues to give your iSCSI ports/VLAN the most buffers?

 

 

Thanks for any assistance.
