Failed to PXE boot machines from a 2016 VM that is port channeled.

HP DL385 Gen 10 running VMware 6.7.0 Build 9484548

The distribution point is running Windows Server 2016 and is up to date with updates. It is running vmware tools 10.3.10 Build 12406962

The vSwitch is set:
Promiscuous mode Reject

Mac Address Changes Reject

Forged Transmits Reject

Load Balancing Route based on IP Hash

Traffic Shaping Disabled

The port group is set to Inherit from vSwitch.

These settings are the same we used on 6.0 and 5.5. The ports on switch are set the same way they were on 5.5 and 6.0

When trying to PXE a device on the network, it gets an IP, it started to download the WinPE and then it stopped and says "Windows failed to start"

If we setup a single nic and leave the settings as default, it works fine. Nothing fails. Same virtual server running 2016. Same physical computer.

I updated to the most recent VMWare tools and it does not seem to have made a change.

Any information would be helpful.

Thank you

Charles
