We have a fresh installation of 9.8P7 in a switchless dual node FAS8020.
The desired network setup that i am trying to create is SVM with ISCSI.
Controller 1
2 ports e1a, e1b > If Group > Vlan 1201 > Logical Interface with ip 10.100.10.1/24
Controller 2
2 ports e1a, e1b > If Group > Vlan 1201 >Logical Interface with ip 10.100.10.2/24
Immediately after creating Link Aggregation Group from giu or cli the ifgroup is down. "The link aggregation group is down"
The individual ports are up.
Because group is down i believe vlan is down , lif is down as well. I tried to add and removed Broadcast domain info from group, bring it up / down it stays down nonmatter what i do.
I can create lifs directly on physical ports then svm can use them and everything is connected, however i rather use interface group.
Here is some cli info:

I would appreciate any pointers.
Solved! See The Solution
It’s the switch
make sure the switch port channel is mode ACTIVE
i see people all the time do mode ON which is NOT LACP. The ports are up but the channel is down
also, as a habit, the ports connecting to the Netapp should also have ports fast enabled

That is correct. Switch was not configured. Ports are up now.
Thank you.
