Nexus 4000I port channel link flap

Hi,

We have a couple of IBM blade chassis with Nexus 4000I 10G blade switch in it. Four 10G ports from each Nexus 4000I switch are bundled into a port channel and connected to Nexus 7K.

On the 4k end, one port in the port channel is doing down and coming up as an idividual port. After few minutes it is going down again and coming up as a port-channel member port. It is happening quite offen.

The same issue is observed accross 4 switches.

2011 Nov  8 22:44:49 switch %ETHPORT-5-IF_DOWN_INITIALIZING: Interface Ethernet1/19 is down (Initializing)

2011 Nov  9 03:42:50 switch %ETHPORT-5-IF_UP: Interface Ethernet1/19 is up in mode trunk

The configuration is fine.
