Enabling Jumbo Frames on MD3200i
I have been trying to enable Jumbo Frames on my MD3200i. So far I have been unsuccessful. I have Jumbo Frames enabled on the iSCSI switch and on the ESX server however the MD3200i is not allowing me to enable it. I click on the "Configure iSCSI Host Ports" link, select the port from the drop down, click on the [Advanced Host Port Settings] button, select the "Enable jumbo frames" check box, enter a value of 9000, and then click [OK]. Once I am back on the "Configure iSCSI Host Ports" screen the [OK] button remains grayed out and I cannot apply the settings. Anybody have any idea what's going on here? I also have a MD3000i and I had no trouble at all enabling jumbo frames on that iSCSI SAN. Is there a way to do this using smcli from a command line?

Do you have any interfaces disabled? If so, this is a bug in the configuration software that I faced as well, the Ok button will stay disabled.
You can try reenabling the disabled interfaces via smcli, which should reenable to OK button.

Thanks for your response - it helped get me on the right track. I do have target paths that show as dead or non existent in vCenter even though in MDSM the ports show as enabled. I tracked down the enable port commands to use with smcli, including the command for enabling jumbo frames (maxFramePayload=9000), and ran those on the ports. I now have jumbo frames enabled and working. There is still the issue with the [OK] button and I think I'm going to have to reboot the RAID controllers to get this issue resolved.
Thanks again for your help.
