Aha well, my DSS can't pass enough data to saturate the link, even with non-jumbo frames.

The other issue is that I have a tap into the iSCSI vlan, and I'd rather not have to set jumbo frames if I don;t have to on any management box that may need to be on there.

There's also the ease of migration....with little downtime.
