vPC LACP on N9K and Linux Bonding

SamCU

Hello,

I want to setup LACP bonding with proper/optimal configuration between UCS 480M5 with VIC 1455 (4x 25Gb links) and N9K. The UCS server runs Oracle DBs on RHEL8

2x N9K switches have been vPC LACP (active) mode. From server side 2 links, VIC ports 1&2 go to switch 1 and 3&4 go to second switch. PortChannel on the VIC is disabled. I created 4x vNICs corresponding to respective uplink ports.  Setup Linux bonding using 4x VNICs. The bond is working. 

Now I'm not sure if there is an optimal setup and if I need update any config/parameter ( LACP rate, ad_select, layer3+4 etc.) to ensure both switches and the servers LACP config is optimal.  

Please advise.

Thanks
