IRF link down but Physical link is up 5940 switch

Hi ! I tried to set up IRF beetwen 2 switchs 5940 in order:

1. plug out IRF physical link

2. configure IRF ID and reboot with the second swicth 

3. Shutdown IRF physical port and add them into IRF link

4. Plug in physical link

5. active IRF configuration on each switch

2 switchs  are same OS version

The problem is when i show IRF topology, the IRF link is down although physical link is up. I reboot switches several times but no luck. Cloud somebody help me to solve this problem

Here is what i show

Re: IRF link down but Physical link is up 5940 switch

Logical IRF Port 1's member (the interface 1/2/25) of IRF Member 1 must be connected to Logical IRF Port 2's member interface of IRF Member 2 (which one? a FortyGigabit for sure...not the 2/2/25 that belong to Logical IRF 1 Port)...not to its Logical IRF Port 1.

Two IRF members scenario: on IRF 1st member the IRF port 1 must always be connected to IRF port 2 of IRF 2nd member, on IRF 2nd member the IRF port 1 must always be connected to IRF port 2 of 1st IRF member.
