If you DEFINEd it with GROUP GRPSRV01, then you can't change (SET) the VSWITCH configuration while the group is being established. Once the port group is up, then you can change things. And it is normal (FVVO 'normal') to take a non-trivial amount of time for both OSAs to be joined into the port group. > I do something wrong? to use port group the vswitch must be ETHERNET ? You just didn't wait for the port group to be established. And, yes, link aggregation (GROUP) is available only in ETHERNET (layer 2) mode.
