By default, the driver sets up two RDMA connections for each network share per IP address (on a unique subnet). Scale up
the number of RDMA connections by adding multiple IP addresses, each with different a subnet, for the same physical port
under test. Multiple network shares can be created and mapped to each link partner using the unique IP addresses created.
Example:
– On Server 1, create the following IP addresses for Network Port1:
 172.1.10.1
 172.2.10.2
 172.3.10.3
– On the same Server 1, create three shares:
 Share1
 Share2
 Share3
 On the network link partners:
 Connect to \\172.1.10.1\share1
 Connect to \\172.2.10.2\share2
 Connect to \\172.3.10.3\share3
 And so forth.
14.3.1.8 Verification
14.3.1.8.1 How to Verify RDMA Connections
Verification can be performed using either Performance Monitor or Power Shell.
14.3.1.8.2 Perfmon
Using Perfmon, the total number of active RDMA connections can be verified using the RDMA Activity counter. Verification
for which of the 16 channels are being exercised can also be done by using the SMB direct connection counters.
NOTE: Ensure that traffic is running in order to see the counters.
