LACP issues with Virtual Connect v3.18

Joe was having LACP issues with a Nexus switch:

Has anyone experienced issues with losing LACP connectivity, Cisco Nexus disabled the port within 24hrs.

 

Here are the errors from the switch:

Not trying to jump to conclusions, but I cannot recall any issue where VC was at fault for a failing LACP channel.  That is one thing it does very well.  One of the biggest mistakes made in the Nexus config is creating a single vPC with member ports connecting to more than one VC module.  A port channel or a vPC must terminate on a single VC module. 

 

For example, you can create a vPC on the Nexus with member ports from two different Nexus switches, but both of those ports in that vPC must connect to only one VC module. 

 

We also frequently see a single vPC with one or more connections from two different Nexus switches, connecting to two different VC modules.  This simply is not supported.

Any help for Joe??
