website for any updated information on use cases for the RoCE-1 profile.

RoCE-2 – Choose the RoCE-2 profile for SMB Direct on Windows Server 2012

and Windows Server 2012 R2.

To select a RoCE Profile:

selected.

support can only be enabled when multichannel is disabled or not supported.

Note: When SR-IOV is enabled, the NIC+RoCE personality setting is unavailable.
