I tried to put four Gig port in port channel from a cisco device to an Aruba controller. On the Aruba side the settings are easy just enable the port channel but on the cisco side nothing is working. I got this error on the Cisco 6506E switch Version 15.1(2)SY9.

On the interface of the 6506, I do not see members of this port channel. On each individual port I have port channel xx mode desireable. No ports every came up on I had to move back to individual ports.
