When NPar is disabled (NPAR Enabled checkbox is unchecked), only a single partition
per port is available. This partition can be configured to run NIC or NIC + RoCE.

Configuring RoCE on NPar Adapters
You can configure NIC + RoCE on NPar adapters when NPar is disabled. See
Figure 8-83 above.
Use the Protocol pull-down menu for each port to select NIC or NIC + RoCE. When
NIC + RoCE is chosen, you must also select a NIC + RoCE configuration.
Choose the RoCE-2 profile for SMB Direct on Windows Server 2012 and
Windows Server 2012 R2 from the pull-down menu in the NIC + RoCE
Configuration box.
Note: Check the Implementer's Lab on the Emulex website for any updated
information on additional use cases for the RoCE-2 profile.
For the RoCE-1 profile, check the Implementer's Lab on the Emulex website for
any updated information on use cases for the RoCE-1 profile.
Note: RoCE configurations are not supported with SR-IOV.
Dell NPar Enabled
Note:
On Linux and VMware systems, SR-IOV must be enabled on the system BIOS
when NParEP is used. See the documentation that accompanied your Dell
server for more information.
NParEP support is available only on Dell 13G or newer systems.
