Enable Jumbo Frames on all storage iSCSI host ports
Jumbo frames need to be enabled on all four storage iSCSI host ports and the MTU size should be set to
9000 bytes/frame. This can be done using the
Advanced Host Port Settings window (Figure 4),
accessible from the Configure iSCSI host ports link of the PowerVault Modular Storage Manager (MDSM)
Setup tab.

Enable High Performance Tier feature on MD3620i
High performance Tier (turbo mode), one of the premium licensed features of the MD3620i array,
enables the storage to deliver increased performance. For the proposed fast track architecture, you
should enable the HPT feature to achieve improved throughput from the array. Other features may be
enabled based on specific customer requirements. The premium licensed features of the MD3620i
storage array may be enabled or disabled from the
Premium Features and Features Pack information
window on the MD Storage Management GUI (Figure 5).
