I configured then installed MEM 1.4 on ESXi 6.5 fine (using hardware offload on nics). After using the setup.pl script I noticed iSCSI was not enabled on ESXi and MTU, delayed ack, login timeout were still at default values. I've adjusted this all manually however am wondering if there is anything else I should be aware of post-install on ESXi 6.5? Are there available instructions for ESXi 6.5? I understand it's officially supported but the MEM 1.4 documentation makes no reference to it.
Thanks!
