[ovirt-users] Jumbo Frames

Hello Dan:
We are using OVS for SFlow and OSPF functionality. You can see that the bridge was correctly set:
ovirtmgmt: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 9000
Very odd as OVS is unaware of whether its jumbo frames or not.
Thanks, Phil

Why do you use OVS at all? If you have VLANs, all you need is to tag the mgmt traffic, and create a VM traffic VLAN with a different MTU. The bridge and underlying NICs will have MTU=9000 and the VM bridge will have MTU=1500

Hello:
am really enjoying oVirt but have now hit an issue with iSCSI. As there is only one NIC in the host I have had to enable an MTU of 9000 on ovirtmgmt. Then have vNIC profiles on that interface which are using a custom hook for Openvswitch. I have created a specific vLAN for iSCSI traffic and on the initiator and targets have set their respective interface MTUs to be 9000. When I connect to a LUN it is timing out straight away with a 1011 error. If I drop the MTU back to 1500 all works okay. This is all fine on my other KVM, non-oVirt, system so am wondering if I have missed a step ?
Thanks, Phil
