I have configured 2 port-channels ( PO18 and PO19) linking 8 interfaces ( CAT6 ) from HP Blade to Catalyst 6509. During the configuration have noticed that catalyst 6500 created "subinterfaces" as shown below:
SWCRJ-CORE#show etherchannel summary
Load for five secs: 3%/10%; one minute: 5%; five minutes: 5%
Time source is NTP, 14:35:31.640 BRV Tue Dec 21 2010

I - stand-alone s - suspended
H - Hot-standby (LACP only)

f - failed to allocate aggregator

I have tried a lot of combination but no joy. At this moment this is the configuration of the interfaces:

At the blade only have configured LACP and priority 100 on all interfaces.
Does anyone know any action to fix this situation?

Hello Raphael,
When using LACP and you see a port-channelA, B, C, etc those are called secondary aggregators and it means that LACP is enabled on the far port but something is causing it to be unable to bundle with the main channel. This is usually caused by receiving different system id's from the far side by having the interfaces cabled between multiple devices.
First thing I would do is make sure that all the cabling is correct and that all of the ports in po18 and po19 are going to just one switch for each port-channel.

If using lacp at least one side has to be "active". Valid states for each side is active -- active or active-- passive . Both sides need to be configured exactly the same . For port channel 19 it looks like you may have tried to use a already taken port channel number as it shows you have 6 different ports in that port channel.

Hello Grant
We already configured both sides as active-active and active-passive, bot no joy.
I guess that it could be anything wrong at the blade.

Hello Matt
You were fully correct about the system id mismatch. At the far side ( HP BLADES ) both interfaces were exporting system id 20; my core were exporting system id 18 and 19 (Port-channels). The issue was solved by configuring the correct system id on the Blade.
Thanks a lot for your help.
