<p>Hi Andres,</p>
<p>Unless you are running other services on the switch it's not
useful.</p>
<p>Typically these are the only useful changes:<br>
</p>
<p>Jumbo Frames (YMMV), depends on vendor.</p>
<p>Flow Control on (so hosts can issue back off - hopefully without
dropping frames)</p>
<p>Depending on the switch, buffer tuning.</p>
<p>Don't use control plane things, like MLAG, Stacking, STP, etc
etc. Flat fabric.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Luke Iggleden<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I wanted to get some
opinions on the use of DCB and its associated protocols in a
storage-only (iSCSI), non-converged network. Any thoughts
about the pros and cons of enabling DCB in a scenario where
100% of the traffic on a switch is bi-directional iSCSI
storage (virtual machines and backups)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
