As been blogged about Dennis, we’ve recently built a S2D cluster. While configuring the RDMA networks, I was wandering what the impact of the jumbo frame sizes were on the performance you can...

So in our whole soap about how to get RAID1 on our OS disks in a S2D setup, we actually found an answer. The solution was to use a HBA330 for S2D setup and a seperate H330 RAID controller for the...
