vishwanathgautham,

Not sure why you are configuring port-channel down to a single server-access port.

Then if you want to configure port--channel you will need to configure similar configuration on the server side as well, you may want to "team-of NIC" (with correct configuration for).

Here is the link that may be useful for vPC configuration.

A port channel bundles up to eight individual interfaces into a group to provide increased bandwidth and redundancy. Port channeling also load balances traffic across these physical interfaces. The port channel stays operational as long as at least one physical interface within the port channel is operational.

You create a port channel by bundling compatible interfaces. You can configure and run either static port channels or ports channels running the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). (See “Understanding LACP” section for information on LACP.)
