1.2.1 Storage Device - Jumbo Frame/MTU Size Validation
Test Objective
Perform I/O validation testing while incrementing MTU size from minimum to maximum with reasonable increments. Include Jumbo frame sizes as well as maximum negotiated/supported between device and switch.
Test Configuration
1. Open the NetApp OnCommand System Manager and navigate to Configuration -> Network ->
Network Interfaces. Then, highlight the desired network interface and click Edit. Click on the Advanced tab and change the entry for MTU Size (in bytes) to the desired value. Finally, click Save and Close.

NOS 4.1.2 Test Report
1.2.3 Storage Device - w/Congested Fabric
Test Objective
Create network bottleneck through a single Ethernet Fabric ISL. Configure VDX switch for AUTONAS.
Configure multiple 'NAS to host' data streams sufficient to saturate ISLs' available bandwidth for 30 minutes. Verify file I/O completes error-free. Add L3 FCoE and L2 Ethernet traffic to fill available bandwidth. File I/O compares are disabled.
Test Configuration
1. Configure NAS auto-QOS on VDX as follows:
< =========== >
nas auto-qos
nas server-ip 9.79.20.1/32 vlan 979
< =========== >
2. Because VDX6730 does not support NAS auto-QOS, move all host connections to CASTOR-VCS20-12.
