Etherchannel and ESX Servers

I am configuring a pair of Cisco 3750e Switches for Etherchannel to use on a VM ESX server.  I would appreciate your assistance to review my config to be sure that the interfaces do not flap or start a spanning tree loop.  Please see below.  Thank you in advance for your help.

I have all of the interface shut down intentionally at present.

System image file is "flash:c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-44.SE2/c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-44.SE2.bin"

interface Port-channel8

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,28

switchport mode trunk

shutdown

end

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/19

end

interface GigabitEthernet2/0/15

I always prefer to use even number of interfaces in a port-channel.
