Nexus 5548UP and UCS 6120's

I have two nexus 5548's configured as a vPC peers and two ucs 6120's configure in a cluster.  The 5548's are connected to two catalyst 6500 via trunks that are in a VSS configuration.  My question is, i have the ucs 6120 managment 0 ports connected to the 5k's, 6120-A mgmt0 to 5k-1 and 6120-B to 5k-2, everytime i fail the ucs 6120-A (primary) i lose ping to the cluster ip and can't manage ucs 6120-B at all even though it is pingable.  Below are snippets on how the management ports are configured on the 5K's.  Any Idea's?

you need to configure UCS management failover monitoring

nks for the quick reply.  I have setup management failover monitoring but when i failover from 6120-A to 6120-B i still lose ping to the cluster ip and all of management.

How do you have it configured? It can take a few minutes or more depending on the configuration

Wait a minute, I just noticed that you have your management interfaces in a port channel and vPC?

Those should be setup as standalone access ports, there isn't a UCS side configuration to place those into a port channel. They are on different Fabric Interconnects anyway.
