Migrate Port Channel - Nexus 7K

[AMD_GAMER]

So, I need to migrate a port channel to a new set of ports in the Nexus 7K. Below is the current config on the Nexus:

interface port-channel33

  switchport

  switchport mode trunk

  switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,50

  spanning-tree port type edge trunk

!

interface Ethernet6/33

  switchport

  switchport mode trunk

  switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,50

  spanning-tree port type edge trunk

  channel-group 33 mode active

  no shutdown

!

interface Ethernet7/33

  switchport

  switchport mode trunk

  switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,50

  spanning-tree port type edge trunk

  channel-group 33 mode active

  no shutdown

Ports 6/33 and 7/33 are 10G uplinks to a pair of 2960S in a flexstack. The 2960S has the following config:

interface Port-channel5

description --==## Uplink to Nexus 7000 ##==--

switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,50

switchport mode trunk

spanning-tree portfast trunk

!

interface TenGigabitEthernet1/0/1

switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,50

switchport mode trunk

spanning-tree portfast trunk

channel-group 5 mode active

!

interface TenGigabitEthernet2/0/1

switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,50

switchport mode trunk

spanning-tree portfast trunk

channel-group 5 mode active

I need to move the uplinks from ports 6/33 and 7/33 to 6/35 and 7/35. I would also like to change the port channel ID from 33 to 35 for naming reasons. Is there a way to accomplish this without dropping any packets? Thanks.

I know your point,but I never did it,so I just guess:

1.you are using PAGP in portchannel,it's great

2.creat an new PC name 35,and add 7/35 to PC-35

3.break 7/33,and connect 7/35,this time PAGP will suspend 7/35

4.shutdown 6/33,this time PAGP will use 7/35,the PortChannel takeover more faster, so it's some packet will droped really, but very few

5.connect 6/35, the PC-35 get full connection.

At step 3, if 7/35 not be suspended,you can go back, it's save, no packet droped.

I suggest you do a lab-test first,and migrate at low-traffic time window.

Whether you success,please let me know,Thank you.

I performed the cutover the other night. I created a new port channel 35 and added both ports 6/35 and 7/35. I then unplugged 6/33 and moved the SFP into 6/35. I then quickly just unplugged 7/33 and plugged in 6/35. I only droped 1-2 packets.
