Nexus 7K port channels not pinging

[AngelMorales]

Friends,  I recently joined a new group, I am a novice on the 7k and was asked to bring up some new ports and assign them to port groups.  I did a stare and compare on the existing ports and followed suit.  The first interface on top and bottom works fine, the second interface the serves will not ping at all, when i disable one of the ports it works fine, can someone see what I’m doing wrong?

config on the two ports (1top1bottom) that are working fine

7kTop
interface Ethernet9/7
description OsdESX543_
switchport
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,184,306,309,900,902
spanning-tree port type edge trunk
mtu 9198
channel-group 907
no shutdown

interface port-channel907
description OsdESX543_trunk
switchport
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,184,306,309,900,902
spanning-tree port type edge trunk
mtu 9198
vpc 907

7k Bottom

interface Ethernet9/7
description OsdESX543_
switchport
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,184,306,309,900,902

Config on the ports that will not ping if they are both on (when i take one down pings are successful)

7k Top

Anyone have this issue before that can help?  Thanks!

What is the Server ? how is the Server configured - Active/Active or Active Standby ?

If you want to bundle the Link ? why they are configured 2 vPC 907 and 905 ?

Sorry no the ports on Eth 9/7 top and bottom are configured on port channel 907 and are shown as an example because its working. The ports on Eth 9/5 top and bottom are configured the same way on port channel 905 but when both are up the server doesn't have any connectivity pings fail, if i take one down the other works fine.

the Servers are running esxi 6.0 U3 and from server end we are doing Active/Active NIC teaming. Load balancing - Route based on IP hash Network failure detection - link status only

thanks for any help

Is there any reason you can not bring all of them in one vPC ?

Look at the best practice of vPC with Nexus.
