orphan-ports

Good afternoon
I am looking for support on the topic "orphan-ports". In an environment with Nexus 7000 I have a vPC configured. This vPC is declared in two interfeces. However, with the "show vpc orphan-ports" command, both the vPC and the interfaces appear to me as orphan-ports in the up state.
What is the reason why I have this output ?....My configuration is the following:

Principal                                                                   Secondary

interface port-channel5                                            interface port-channel5 
description                                                               description 
switchport access vlan 5                                          switchport access vlan 5 
spanning-tree port type normal                                 spanning-tree port-priority 128
mtu 9216                                                                  spanning-tree port type normal
                                                                                 mtu 9216
                                                                                 bandwidth 100000

interface Ethernet1/2                                              interface Ethernet1/2
description                                                               description

spanning-tree port type normal                               spanning-tree port-priority 128
mtu 9216                                                                spanning-tree port type normal
channel-group 5 mode active                                  mtu 9216

                                                                               channel-group 5 mode active
                                                                               no shutdown

interface Ethernet1/3                                               interface Ethernet1/3

the same as Ethernet1/2                                          the same as Ethernet1/2

#show vpc orphan-ports
VPC Role: Primary
VPC Peer-Link Status: Up

Interface Orphan Port Orphan-port
Suspend-config Status
------------ ---------------- -------------
Po5 - Up

Eth1/2 - Up

Eth1/3 - Up

 

You can support me by checking if I have an error or telling me how I can clean the "orphan-ports"

vPC <vPCnumber> command is missing under port-channel.

 

Example. 

switch(config-if)# vpc 5

 

Kindly refer below link for better understanding of vPC configuration.
