Verify RoCE in Windows

  1. Create a file share on the remote system and open that share.

    Open that share with Windows Explorer or the net use command. To avoid a speed bottleneck when the hard disk is reading or writing, use a RAM disk as the network share.

  2. Run these commands from the PowerShell.
    Get-SmbMultichannelConnection | fl *RDMA*
    ClientRdmaCapable : True
    ServerRdmaCapable : True

    If both Client and Server are True, any file transfers over this SMB connection use SMB.

  3. Enable or disable SMB Multichannel support.

    On the Server side:

    Enable: Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableMultiChannel $true
    Disable: Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableMultiChannel $false

    On the Client side:

    Enable: Set-SmbClientConfiguration -EnableMultiChannel $true
    Disable: Set-SmbClientConfiguration -EnableMultiChannel $false

    Note -  By default, the driver sets up two RDMA connections for each network share per IP address (on a unique subnet). You can increase 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 that you created.
