Is it possible to change the network adapter from E1000 to VMXNET3 to test w/ Jumbo Frames?

Hello,

 

I'd like to use I/O Analyzer to compare the difference between using a normal MTU (1500) via iSCSI and Jumbo Frames (9000+ MTU). The datastores in question are using 10GbE and could benefit greatly by using Jumbo Frames. The network adapter deployed with the I/O Analyzer appliance VM is the E1000 which doesn't support Jumbo Frames. I'm assuming it would need to use the VMXNET3 adapter with VMware Tools installed in the guest OS in order to use Jumbo Frames (per this article). Is this possible/supported? I didn't see any mention of it in the User's Guide for v1.6. Any input would be appreciated
