I was looking at esxtop on my 5.5 host and I see this process net-lacp running. I'm using standard vswitches, I'm diagnosing network performance issues and I wonder if its related to this?

This is the LACP process for VMware vSphere Distributed Switches.

It is not the cause of your network woes.

  • But I'm not licensed for vDS nor am I using any.

  • @thedave That doesn't matter. It's the same ESXi regardless of licensing level.

  • LACP isn't just used for distributed switches. Link Aggregation Control Protocl is used for NIC teaming/failover, which this process monitors/manages as well if I'm not mistaken. NIC teaming is a standard feature of ESX which explains why this process would be running on your installation. Again though, this is most likely not the cause of your network issue.

    It ended up being a driver issue [link]h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/…

  • @thedave That's a pretty terrible driver bug.
