Using Windows Server 2016DC, I'm building a 3-node Hyper-converged, Storage Spaces Direct failover cluster. It seems to work good and passes validation using an ordinary D-Link 10GB switch except the fact that I can't see any RDMA traffic over the switch. I confirmed that I can see RDMA activity when I bypass the D-Link and connect the 3 nodes directly.
The problem is, I'm having trouble finding a TOR switch that's RDMA (RoCE) compatible for under $5k. to replace that D-Link. Anyone have any suggested models?
I was also considering changing to iwarp or infiniband instead. What do you think?
