N9K L3 PO always suspends one member port

I am trying to build two standard L3 POs between two N9Ks (running as vPC) and a C9500 stack with 100Gbps ports. The two L3 P2P POs would be used for OSPF peerings later. High-level topology is attached below.

When I enable the Po-1 on both ends, the N9K-1 always has one port, such as P2 suspended. But I do not get any log on the C9K side and C9K just shows 2/0/47 is not connected...Similiar case applies when I enable the Po-2 on N9K-2. The Po1 and Po2 are not configured for vPC on the N9Ks.

2022 Oct 14 01:49:28 N9K-1-SW %ETH_PORT_CHANNEL-5-PORT_SUSPENDED: Ethernet1/2: Ethernet1/2 is suspended

I tried to configure the Po 1 and Po 2 just as L2. The same one port suspended situation continues....I tried to hardcode speed to be 100Gbps on N9Ks for the related ports and nonegotiate on C9K ports which made no difference either...

If I removed all the Po 1 and Po 2 configuration on both ends, the four ports on each end would all stay up at 100Gbps. 

Here is the vPC configuration:

 

vpc domain 1
peer-switch
role priority 10000
peer-keepalive destination 10.10.11.2 source 10.10.11.1
peer-gateway
layer3 peer-router
auto-recovery

 

Here is the Po1 on N9K-1:

 

interface Ethernet1/1
channel-group 1 mode active
no shutdown

interface Ethernet1/2
channel-group 1 mode active
no shutdown
!
interface port-channel1
ip address 10.10.10.1/30
no shut

 

Here is the Po1 on C9K:

 

interface Port-channel1
no switchport
ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.252
!
interface HundredGigE1/0/47
no switchport
no ip address
channel-group 1 mode active
!
interface HundredGigE2/0/47
no switchport
no ip address
channel-group 1 mode active

 

Any thought?

Just in case, it is needed, here below are the "show spanning-tree summary" outputs from N9K and C9K.

Mystery resolved...The cause is miss-cabling...N9K-1 Eth1/2 is physically connected to C9K port assigned for Po-2.
