Hello,
  Which installer did you use? And yes this should work, although I did not personally test it.
The official party line for WinOF 2.1 is limited support for Windows 7 & Server 2008 R2. That said, using WinOF_wlh_x86.msi should work for you as WinOF_wlh_x64.msi loads the IB stack correctly for Windows 7 Ultimate.
Again, SRP was not tested for Win7 due to limited support for Win7; WinOF 2.2 will fully support Windows 7 & Svr 2008 R2.

Once you have an SRP (OFED is what I have used in the past) target configured.
Check the Server Manager --> Storage --> Disk Manager to find the SRP volume; you will likely need to set the device 'online' and perhaps a drive letter.
