Hi, I have four solaris servers and I want to connect them with a NetApp NAS 
 
The solaris version is: 
5.10 Generic_127127-11 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise–T2000 
 
I use the e1000g driver on Solaris 
 
I cant find out how to set mtu to 9000 
 
after searching on the internet i see there are only 3 options for mtu: 
 
e1000g.conf: 
MaxFrameSize=0,1,2,3,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; # 0 is for normal ethernet frames. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; # 1 is for upto 4k size frames. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; # 2 is for upto 8k size frames. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; # 3 is for upto 16k size frames. 
 
However I do not want to set it to 16k size frames, because if the solaris is trying to write 16k packets on the netapp, and the netapp has 9000 mtu configured, I assume this is not going to work? 
 
Any ideas how to set specifically 9000 mtu on my Solaris interfaces? 
 
Thanks

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
