How should the customer optimize networking?

A customer has the following requirement for a Nutanix cluster:

✑ Must support high-performance Nutanix Volumes iSCSI workloads

✑ Must utilize AHV nodes

✑ Must use 10 GbE interface

How should the customer optimize networking?
A . Enable Jumbo Frame on just the Host
B . Convert Cluster to ESXi and enable Jumbo Frame on Host and CVM
C . Enable Jumbo Frames on just the CVM
D . Enable the use of Jumbo Frame on Host and CVM

Answer: D

Explanation:

For high-performance iSCSI workloads, especially in a Nutanix environment using AHV nodes and a 10 GbE interface, enabling Jumbo Frames on both the Host and the Controller Virtual Machine (CVM) is recommended. Jumbo Frames allow for a larger payload per network packet, which reduces the overhead required to send large amounts of data. Enabling Jumbo Frames on both the host and the CVM ensures that both ends of the communication channel can handle larger packets, thereby optimizing throughput and reducing latency for high-performance workloads.
