First regarding the trunk to your Sonicwall.

Be aware thet that the HP trunk is a HP proprietary protocol and will not work well with non HP/Procurve switches.

To set up trunks with 3rd party devices i would use LACP instead.

Regarding server to switch trunking, it depends on the server teaming software.

But in most cases, leaving the ports as LACP passive mode (default configuration) usually works. The server acs as the active side and set up the trunk.
Other teaming software might require you to set up static LACP trunk.

Check the documantation of you server software.

Hi

And sorry for the late response.

What kind of configuration options do you have on the sonic wall side for link aggregation?

Could you extract a show tech all from the switch and attach here? Or just the config?

The errors indicate layer 1 issues, and could indicate issues with the trunk.

Is it only on 1 of the ports you get errors? Or just 1.

What does the command "show trunk" give you?
