if you want get server name you can use
$ nslookup -t=ptr server_ip
but back resolve must be correct.

If PTR doesn't set -- you cann't get correct server name

there are several methods to get name (if ptr doesn't set) but all they are not certain for sure

NAME
rping - RDMA CM connection and RDMA ping-pong test. SYNOPSIS
rping -s [-v] [-V] [-d] [-P] [-a address] [-p port] [-C message_count] [-S message_size] rping -c [-v] [-V] [-d] -a address [-p port] [-C message_count] [-S message_size] DESCRIPTION
Establishes a reliable RDMA connection between two nodes using the librdmacm, optionally performs RDMA transfers between the nodes, then disconnects. OPTIONS
-s Run as the server. -c Run as the client. -a address On the server, specifies the network address to bind the connection to. On the client, specifies the server address to connect to. -p Port number for listening server. -v Display ping data. -V Validate ping data. -d Display debug information. -C message_count The number of messages to transfer over each connection. (default infinite) -S message_size The size of each message transferred, in bytes. (default 100) -P Run the server in persistent mode. This allows multiple rping clients to connect to a single server instance. The server will run until killed. NOTES
Because this test maps RDMA resources to userspace, users must ensure that they have available system resources and permissions. See the libibverbs README file for additional details. SEE ALSO
