  • Running command nsxdp-cli vswitch instance list on the ESXi host confirms the PortID reported in the error log is for the vdr-vdrPort

Environment

VMware NSX-T Data Center
VMware NSX

Cause

The log line is being printed from latency component on function LATAggregationHelper. VDR port doesn't support end-to-end latency and also the VDR port does not have any VIF's connected. 

 

Resolution

Our engineering team is aware of the issue and it will be resolved in future release. 

Note: This error can be safely ignored and there is no functionality impact on the NSX-T.
