Connect Dell SCv3020 storage to Cisco 4500-X

Hello,

I am trying to connect Dell SCv3020 storage to my core switch Cisco 4500-X. In this switch i have also an old EMC storage connected with port channel active. I configured for DELL storage, 4 ports identical with those where EMC is connected:
interface range Te1/1/3 , Te1/1/5 ,Te2/1/7 , Te2/1/12
 description DELL Storage Contr_1
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-899,901-4094
 switchport mode trunk
 channel-protocol lacp
 switchport nonegotiate
 channel-group 6 mode on
!
interface Port-channel6
 description DELL Storage Controller_1
 switchport
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-899,901-4094
 switchport mode trunk
When I create port-channel, all ports included in this group are going to suspended mode.
In switch log I see: LACP currently not enabled on the remote port.
On the storage I have DCB error on all ports: "Data Center Bridging is supported on this port but no TLVs have been received from the switch. Please make sure that DCB is enabled and configured on the switch."

Any ideea why switch ports are suspended?

DCB is a prerequisite for running FCoE ! which I think you don't do; and I think the 4500-X doesn't support. Try to enable LACP on your DELL device.
