Unable to get interfaces to bond with BAG and use LCP - Also what is best method steps?

I am trying to bond two interfaces into a BAG and then use LCP to connect to a XenServer. Can anyone explain these error messages and the order of operation (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc...). I have tried multiple ways and keep getting this same output.

From the CLI, what could be wrong?

Hello,

Can you please share below details:
1. Current software version in switches?
2. Are these switches in IRF?
3. Please share both interfaces configuration and other end configuration?
4. Are you doing bonding or binding at other end?

Thanks!

These two images are from our XenServer. We have other LACP bonded links with two or 4 interfaces and all are working correctly.

Hello,

It seems issue is on server side LACP configuration.

Is there any port speed configured at server side?

Can you select Active-Active mode instead of LACP load balancing?

Thanks!

Hi! follow this (for the Comware switch part of setting up the LAG Link Aggregation Group):

https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=emr_na-c03503743

The order of execution is explained very clearly. I suggest you to (re)start from scratch with 1/0/24 and 2/0/18 physical interfaces in their default states (thus remove them from LAG 24, delete LAG 24, default 1/0/24 and 2/0/18 and start again...with Xen Server cables disconnected).

The Xen server side looks pretty much correct (LACP -> two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces were bonded together), the hosts should be set to be VLAN unaware (default I believe)....because, as last LAG configuration step switch side, you should set the VLAN membership (VLAN 35 as untagged -> native) at LAG logical interface level only (without touching LAG's member interfaces) and this setting will propagate down to LAG's physical member interfaces.

Note:

HP A5500-24G-4SFP HI Switch with 2 interface Slots uptime is 424 weeks, 6 days, 3 hours, 52 minutes

424 Weeks of uptime means more than 8 Years of uptime!
