3)   Log into old MDS switch A / B side

4)  Turn off port-channel on MDS switch

     config t
     interface port-channel 11
     np interface po 11

5)  Once port-channel interface is turned off, remove the cables from old switch, and Connect cables to old MDS switches

       Configure port-channel on New MDS switches
     
        config t
        interface fc1/1
        switchport description
        port-license acquire
        channel-group <> force
        no shutdown

        repeat the config on remaining ports

         Interface port-channel<>
         Channel mode active
         switchport mode F
         switchport description <>
         switchport rate-mode dedicated
 
        Add ports to portchannel

        config t
        interface po <>
        interface fc 1/1-8


Once connections are enabled,  Disable the port channel  on Other side of switch and enable the port channel.
