Closed as program error.
Error description
In IEEE802.3ad mode, force failover from backup to primary channel does not work and hence backup will remain active channel forever until etherchannel is rebuild(rmdev/mkdev). This behavior will lead to total etherchannel failure when backup goes down while primary link is up.
Local fix
Rebuild etherchannel with rmdev/mkdev.
Problem summary
In IEEE802.3ad mode, force failover from backup to primary channel may not work and hence backup will remain active until etherchannel is rebuild(rmdev/mkdev). This behavior will lead to total etherchannel failure when backup goes down while primary link is up.
Problem conclusion
Etherchannel driver code is fixed to allow force failover from backup to primary.
Temporary fix
