I am wondering if the load balancing that is set from the console "Configure Management Network" settings isn't the same. If I add a NIC from that menu, but don't create the LAG on the switch, vCenter shows two NICs with one in standby mode.
If possible, it would be good to enter the graphical vSphere Client and verify the settings now. The network configuration options done from the DCUI is really only meant for a quick way to do the initial IP configuration before using vSphere Client for the first time, and also to repair network config mistakes. Through that it is somewhat less understood and unclear what will happen with the vSwitch NIC Teaming Policy and similar settings when making changes from the DCUI.
And again - are you sure you need IP Hash - LAG for the Management network? You could get full redundancy with default Port ID with no LAG configuration at the physical switches.
