10Gb Network Adapters with RDMA(RoCE) for DL380 Gen8 Server

[Fritsch James]

We are currently testing a storage cluster setup involving the use of RDMA(RoCE) Feature of the network adapters. We have 3 Gen9 Servers equipped with HPE NC546 SFP+ Network adapters - but we would like to integrate Gen8 Servers into this system and there does not seem to be any supported network adapter that supports RoCE for Gen8.

Will HPE NC546 Adapters work in a Gen8 server? At least those machines have PCIe 3.0 x8 Slots available...
