Possible values:

  • vmNptIncompatibleGuest: The virtual machine's guest OS does not support VMDirectPath Gen 2.

  • vmNptIncompatibleGuestDriver: The virtual machine's guest network driver does not support VMDirectPath Gen 2.

  • vmNptIncompatibleAdapterType: The device type does not support VMDirectPath Gen 2.

    See also vmDirectPathGen2Supported.

  • vmNptDisabledOrDisconnectedAdapter: The virtual machine's network adapter is disabled or disconnected, and thus is not participating in VMDirectPath Gen 2.

  • vmNptIncompatibleAdapterFeatures: The virtual machine's network adapter has features enabled which preclude it participating in VMDirectPath Gen 2 such as INT-x or PXE booting.

  • vmNptIncompatibleBackingType: The device backing is not a DistributedVirtualPortBacking.

  • vmNptInsufficientMemoryReservation: The virtual machine does not have full memory reservation required to activate VMDirectPath Gen 2.

  • vmNptFaultToleranceOrRecordReplayConfigured:

    Deprecated as of vSphere API 6.0.

    The virtual machine is configured for Fault Tolerance or Record & Replay, which prevents VMDirectPath Gen 2.

  • vmNptConflictingIOChainConfigured: Some networking feature has placed a conflicting IOChain on the network adapter, which prevents VMDirectPath Gen 2.

    Examples include DVFilter.

  • vmNptMonitorBlocks: The virtual machine monitor is exercising functionality which which prevents VMDirectPath Gen 2.

  • vmNptConflictingOperationInProgress: VMDirectPath Gen 2 is temporarily suspended while the virtual machine executes an operation such as suspend.

  • vmNptRuntimeError: VMDirectPath Gen 2 is unavailable due to an unforeseen runtime error in the virtualization platform (typically resource constraints.)

  • vmNptOutOfIntrVector: VMDirectPath Gen 2 is unavailable due to host run out of intr vector in host.

    Guest can configure the vNIC to use less rx/tx queues or use MSI instead of MSIX.

  • vmNptVMCIActive: VMDirectPath Gen 2 is unavailable due to Incompatibe feature VMCI is active in the current VM.

    Kill the relevant VMCI application(s) and restart the VM will allow the vNIC(s) to enter passthrough mode.
