Nexus 1000v lacp "mode active"

Question

Dear all,
today I installed my Lab new with ESXI 4.1 and the newest NX release. Everything fine.
But for my systemuplink I would like to use 2 Ports. I tried to configure a channel with "mode active" on all sites. This was not working only "mode on" was working. The Channel is configured in the "system-uplink" Portgroup. I use a 2960-8 Switch on the other side
Any Ideas?
I found a later discussion but without any solution...
thanks in advance
regards,
Sebastian

Hi Vishnu,
here my config (currently like I told no LACP "mode on"):
SWITCH
interface GigabitEthernet0/2
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode on
interface GigabitEthernet0/4
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode on
interface Port-channel1
switchport mode trunk
2960-LAB-1#sh int trunk
Port        Mode         Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan
Po1         on           802.1q         trunking      1
Port        Vlans allowed on trunk
Po1         1-4094
Port        Vlans allowed and active in management domain
Po1         1-3,6-7,17-18,20,40,243
Port        Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned
Po1         1-3,6-7,17-18,20,40,243
Nexus Portchannel, still in "mode active", but seem to work with Switch in "mode on"
