Per the HPE VME documentation, VME recommends three separate network interfaces per host: management, storage, and compute. NFS storage traffic should use a dedicated storage interface with MTU 9000 (jumbo frames) configured end-to-end.
Best Practices
-
Use a dedicated VLAN for NFS storage traffic. Do not share with management or compute networks.
-
Set MTU 9000 on all host storage interfaces, switches, and FlashArray NFS ports.
-
Verify jumbo frame connectivity before configuring NFS datastores:
ping -M do -s 8972 <pure-nfs-ip>
