Configuring RoCE Interfaces with Hyper-V
In Windows Server 2016, Hyper-V with Network Direct Kernel Provider Interface
(NDKPI) Mode-2, host virtual network adapters (host virtual NICs) support RDMA.
RoCE configuration procedures in this section include:
 Creating a Hyper-V Virtual Switch with an RDMA NIC
 Adding a vLAN ID to Host Virtual NIC
 Verifying If RoCE is Enabled
 Adding Host Virtual NICs (Virtual Ports)
 Mapping the SMB Drive and Running RoCE Traffic
NOTE

 Configure through the HII (see “Preparing the Adapter” on page 129).
 Configure using QoS (see “Configuring QoS for RoCE” on page 259).
