Hello, Robert,
I have available both files you requested me, but I don't know how to send to you in the private message window. Please, tell me how or a e-mail address to send to you.
Besides that, we've found that one of the interfaces of 6 Gb belonging to a portchannel was down (since 8th march when we were trying forcing the duplex. After that, we let the configuration by default - auto duplex / auto speed):
2011 Mar 8 20:11:23 VSM01 %ETHPORT-5-SPEED: Interface Ethernet3/5, operational speed changed to 6 Gbps <-- You can see here the 6Gbps
2011 Mar 8 20:11:23 VSM01 %ETHPORT-5-IF_DUPLEX: Interface Ethernet3/5, operational duplex mode changed to Half

2011 Mar 8 20:11:23 VSM01 %ETHPORT-5-IF_TX_FLOW_CONTROL: Interface Ethernet3/5, operational Transmit Flow Control state changed

2011 Mar 8 20:11:23 VSM01 %ETH_PORT_CHANNEL-5-IF_DOWN_SUSPENDED_BY_SPEED: Interface Ethernet3/5 is down (Suspended due to incompatible speed <-- Here the port is suspended. In the other VEMs where we didn't try to force the duplex, they all work at 6 Gbps/half.

We made shutdown and no shutdown to the port and we have the following messages:

Now we force full duplex / speed 1000 and the portchannel gets up with both interfaces, but in 1 Gbps / half duplex:
interface port-channel1
inherit port-profile Uplink_VMs
duplex full
speed 1000

I think that removing the interfaces from vCenter for that VEM and adding them again to that portprofile-uplink it should work. What do you think?

Carlos.
