56 Setting Up Your PowerVault NX3500 Solution
MD Discovery IP and subnet mask:
This is one of the iSCSI Host port IPs
configured on the MD array controller iSCSI ports. You can access this
information from the MDSM. This IP address is used by the PowerVault
NASCU to establish communication with the MD storage array
.
SAN MTU size:
This is the MTU setting for the SAN network. Using
jumbo frames on the SAN network (MTU: 9000) is mandatory for new
installations. For an existing MD setup, it is highly recommended that you
use jumbo frames for optimal performance.

NAS Controller Discovery
window is displayed.
NOTE: Dell PowerConnect switches must be configured to 9216 MTU or greater
to accept frames of size 9000 MTU. Non-Dell switches may require a different
MTU configuration for similar frame sizes. For more information on MTU
configuration for non-Dell switches, see the switch-specific documentation.
