My problem was to get RoCEv2 running with the qed&lt;strong&gt;e&lt;/strong&gt;ntv driver on ESXi, the driver alone doesn't support RDMA. However, the driver comes in a package of 4 drivers or modules where qed&lt;strong&gt;r&lt;/strong&gt;ntv does support RDMA.
I suspect the "&lt;strong&gt;e&lt;/strong&gt;" in qed&lt;strong&gt;e&lt;/strong&gt;ntv stands for ethernet and the "&lt;strong&gt;r&lt;/strong&gt;" in qed&lt;strong&gt;r&lt;/strong&gt;ntv stands for RDMA? Either way, the solution sounds quite simple, swap out qed&lt;strong&gt;e&lt;/strong&gt;ntv with qed&lt;strong&gt;r&lt;/strong&gt;ntv as the active driver and done.
Turns out its not that easy or I wouldn't be writing this...&lt;/p&gt;
