catalyst 3750x - jumbo frames on svi

1500 I've encountered a problem on a cisco ws-c3750x-48ts-s where jumbo-frames won't cross a trunk-connection between a vwmare esx-host and the switch :

the access ports in the same vlan don't experience any problems.

I suspect that the problem lies with the mtu for the SVI for that vlan, since it's derived from the system mtu value and not the system-mtu jumbo command :

*<hostname>*#show vlan mtu

VLAN    SVI_MTU    MinMTU(port)      MaxMTU(port)     MTU_Mismatch

*<hostname>*#show interfaces vlan 150
Vlan150 is up, line protocol is up
  Hardware is EtherSVI, address is c89c.1d49.b245 (bia c89c.1d49.b245)
  Description: iSCSI
  Internet address is 10.150.7.254/21
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec,
     reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255

is there a way to increase the SVI MTU to 9198, since system mtu has a max-value of 1998
