Best Practices

  • Use separate NICs per fabric for true path diversity.

  • Set MTU to 9000 on all storage interfaces, switches, and Everpure FlashArray ports.

  • Use dedicated VLANs for each storage fabric - do not share with management or compute traffic.

  • Verify jumbo frame connectivity with ping -M do -s 8972 <portal-ip> from every host before proceeding with iSCSI setup.
