Co-existence of Net.TeamingIgnoreShotgun configuration and EDP

Products

• VMware NSX
• VMware vSphere ESXi

Issue/Introduction

Net.TeamingIgnoreShotgun can be set to ignore (Setting Net.TeamingIgnoreShotgun to 1) while EDP (Enhanced Data Path) is enabled on an ESXi host. This configuration will not cause any disruption.

Environment

• VMware NSX 4.x
• VMware ESXi 8.x

Cause

Net.TeamingIgnoreShotgun configuration does not talk to the driver stack, rather to software side. This has no relation with EDP.

Resolution

There are no issues about co-existence of EDP as well as Shotgun as both operate at different levels. You can enable/disable shotgun settings in the environment where EDP is enabled without any interruptions.
