It is the (virtual) network infrastructure that imposes the
payload restrictions, hence the MTU size. I case of QDIO the
VSWITCH supports any MTU the attached (coupled) vNICs support, too.
If you use a VSWITCH to interconnect guest virtual NICs with a
distributed switched fabric over OSA Express, however, it is this
connection that imposes your MTU limits - is OSA connected to a
network supporting jumbo frames and have you configured the VM OSA
TCP/IP definition accordingly? If yes you should be fine.
