Using SSH the command to change MTU is esxcfg-vmknic -m 9000 <Port Group> or esxcfg-vmknic -m 9000 -v <DVPort> -s <DVS name>. I've tried several different variation using vicfg and none of it works. Vaguely remember reading something about MTU change being unsupported feature. Maybe I just need to do it using SSH.
