Hi
Trying to setup NVME over RDMA connection to ESXi host.
Have Connectx4 100GB adapters installed on both servers (Starwind and ESXi).
StarWind installed on Windows 2016 server. RDMA is enabled on both side.
Created NVMEoF target on StarWind and NVME over RDMA storage adapter on ESXi.
But ESXi can't discover the controller.
Can you provide some details instruction how to setup it?
Thanks

Windows-based StarWind NVMe-oF target is not intended for production use. Please use StarWind CVM; in the future build(s), it should have NVMe-oF over TCP and later we plan to introduce NVMe-oF over RDMA support.
Now, it might be impossible to connect StarWind NVMe-oF target over RDMA.
Please also note that your Mellanox NICs are to be connected to the VMs in SR-IOV mode.
