vmk10 and vmk50 removal

Running ESXi on Nutanix and Nutanix NCC check is alerting for vmk10 and vmk50 in the same subnet as other vmkernel ports.

Can I remove vmk10 and vmk50 manually? I'm also not sure if it would impact anything on NSX side.

Usually VMkernel adapters handle system traffic, IE: vmotion, management, FT Logging, vSAN (I don't think you are using them since you have nutanix), NSX VTEP's and such.
I wouldn't remove them without being sure.

Can you please attach screenshots of your VMKernel adapters to see what is running on them?

I ran nsxdp-cli vswitch instance list command and it showed that vmk10 connected to an uplink and for vmk50, it showed as void.

Is there anyway I can check if these vmk ports are being used?
