`use_rdma` works with RoCEv1/RoCEv2 networks, but not with iWARP and,
maybe, with some Infiniband configurations which require RDMA-CM.
Consider `use_rdmacm` for such networks.
## use_rdmacm
- Type: boolean
- Default: true
Use an alternative implementation of RDMA through RDMA-CM (Connection
Manager). Works with all RDMA networks: Infiniband, iWARP and
RoCEv1/RoCEv2, and even allows to disable TCP and run only with RDMA.
When enabled, OSDs listen on the same address(es) and port(s) using
TCP and RDMA-CM. `use_rdma` is automatically disabled when `use_rdmacm`
is enabled.
## disable_tcp

Fully disable TCP and only use RDMA-CM for OSD communication.
