Kannan,

Kindly check if there is any port active or assigned to the portchannel.

Default all the interfaces of fex.

Example:

Assuming this initial config: 

feature lacp 

feature vpc 

vpc domain 1 

peer-keepalive destination 1.1.1.1 

feature fex  fex 100   

pinning max-links 1 

description FEX0100   type "Nexus 2148T" 

interface port-channel300 ! - this is the VPC going to the fex

switchport mode fex-fabric

vpc 300

fex associate 100

interface Ethernet1/39 ! - this is one of the physical

interfaces going to the fex

switchport mode fex-fabric

fex associate 100

  channel-group 300

interface Ethernet1/40 ! - this is one of the physical  interfaces going to the fex 

switchport mode fex-fabric 

fex associate 100 

channel-group 300

Do this...

Nexus-5K(config)# no int port-channel 300 

2013 June 12  12:06:48 Nexus-5K PFMA-2-FEX_STATUS Fex 100 is  offline 

2013 June 12 12:06:48 Nexus-5K NOHMS-2-NOHMS_ENV_FEX_OFFLINE   FEX-100 Off-line (Serial Number JAF1309ABPG)  

Nexus-5K(config)# int E1/39 - 40 

Nexus-5K(config-if-range)# no switchport mode fex-fabric

Nexus-5K(config-if-range)# no fex associate 100  

Nexus-5K(config-if-range)# exit 

Nexus-5K(config)# no fex 100
