Folks,
I am dealing with very strange issue related LACP and not sure if its bug of 6120XG switch or something else. so let me explain my issue here.
Network Diagram https://ibb.co/tPm7f13
I have two Cisco Nexus 9396PX TOR switches in Cisco vPC design for milti-chassis connected to HP blade switch 6120XG.
This is in production last 1 years and had no issue. but recently noticed my all LACP links went down even all switches are up. During debug i found Cisco Switch was not receiving any LACP packets to bring this bundle up. (That conclude something is wrong with HP 6120XG switch) Seems like HP switch is freez or something even i can ssh on to switch and run all commands.
HP 6120XG firmware version: Z.14.58
Cisco Nexus 9396PX logs during incident, Here is the logs which i found on Cisco and HP switches.

After reboot HP blade 6120XG LACP came back and traffic started flowing, This happened in past to other racks also but everytime we just reboot switch and it come back. (We don't have HPE support where we can ask to find out if its BUG of HP 6120XG switch or something else in my config)
