our configuration is:

We have 11 PVE Cluster with 6 node for cluster.
each node have the same configuration:
HPE DL360 G10 2 x Xeon Silver 4210
HP InfiniBand FDR/Ethernet 40Gb 2-port 544+FLR-QSFP Adapte
PVE 8.2.2 with Linux Kernel 6.5.13-6 [but we have try also with newest Kernel, same problem, we use this kernel due to stability]
openvswitch-switch: 3.1.0-2+deb12u1
We use CEPH with nvme disk,.

we use DAC 40g Cable.
that are connected to 2 different switch cisco Nexus3000 C3164PQ Chassis (Nexus 9000 Series) on 2 differente rack with VPC
All port are configurated on the same way.
