Firepower 4140 Chassis Port Channel help

[ChristopherCraddock66504]

Dear Community,

I am attempting to create a couple of port channels on my 4140 appliances. I tried to do this through the FMC but it appears I may need to do it via the Chassis Manager? I am trying to create the port channels via the Chassis Manager, it gives me the option to create  the port channel but I am unable to add any interfaces to the port channel. The section where to select the interfaces to put into the port channel simply does not provide any options, its blank. I have attached a screen shot. Any ideas?

Thank you.

Dear Community,

I answered my own question. I had already assigned the physical interfaces to the logical device. I went ahead and unassigned the interfaces from the logical device and the Chassis Manager then presented the interfaces as an option. 

Thank you.

Correct.

For future seekers, here is the relevant section of the configuration guide:

Thank you Marvin. I did have one quick questions about the port channeling. I went ahead and disassociated the individual interfaces from the Logical device and then created the port channels (Eth1/1 and Eth1/2 -> PO15, Eth1/3 and Eth1/4 -> PO20). I then associated the PC's to the logical device. When I look at the CLI and the "show interface" command, I do see the PC's are assigned but the individual interfaces show saying "(not associated with Supervisor)". Is this normal? I attached a screenshot for reference. 

Thank you.

Yes that's normal. It's a bit counter-intuitive but it's an artifact of how the Firepower Chassis Manager does things on 4100 and 9300 series.
