No operational members and UCS vPC

I am getting the following error message when trying to configure a vPC from a set of 6248 FIs to a set of N5Ks. Lacp and vpc are enabled on the 5ks.

"No operational members"

Terry,

I had the same error when starting to integrate UCS with the Nexus product line. In addition to LACP, how many vPC's do you have on "each" 5K? From the diagrams above, you should have 2. I bet you have only 1.

N5Ks = 6.0(2)N1(2)

UCS = 2.1(3a)

Just to confirm, you're connecting like this:

FI-A Port X_____PoX______N5K1

FI-A Port Y              N5K2

FI-B Port X_____PoY______N5K1

FI-B Port Y              N5K2

Ensure the same VLANs are allowed on each N5K for each VPC.  From your output above they dont look consistent.

Confirm your topology with as much detail as you can so we can assist further.

**Also ensure on your N5K side you're using "channel-group X mode active" to ensure LACP is enabled.  We only support active Port Channels with UCS.

Robert

FI-A Port 17_____Po22______N5K1

FI-A Port 18             N5K2

FI-B Port 17_____Po22_____N5K1

FI-B Port 18              N5K2

Checking vlans now.....

**Also ensure on your N5K side you're using "channel-group X mode  active" to ensure LACP is enabled.  We only support active Port Channels  with UCS.

Here are the commands, I might have missed something...

xxxx(config)# int e1/15-16

xxxx(config-if-range)# channel-group 22

xxxx(config-if-range)# int po 22

xxxx(config-if)# vpc 22

That creates a static port channel (mode on) vs. active (mode active aka LACP).

Change your Port channel mode to "mode active" on the N5K sides as detailed above.

Almost there.... So the port channel is up on FI-A and still getting no operational members on FI-B.
