Dismantled VPC - ports not coming up - any workarounds apart from disabling VPC on the port channel?

We are in the process of splitting our VPC in half.

It was two x 5k and now there is 1 x 5k. The 5k still thinks it is part of a VPC, because we haven't converted it back to Spanning Tree (yet).

Are there any commands to bring up individual ports, so it ignores the consistency-check on that port, or do I need to disable vpc 120 on portchannel120 to get these ports working? This takes the entire FEX down for approx 80 seconds (in testing).

VPC status on 5k:

5k-1# show vpc Legend: (*) - local vPC is down, forwarding via vPC peer-link vPC domain id : 1 Peer status : peer link is down vPC keep-alive status : peer is not reachable through peer-keepalive 

Example of a connected FEX port channel:

interface port-channel120 switchport mode fex-fabric fex associate 120 vpc 120 

Trying to bring up a new port is coming up as below:

5k-1# show int e120/1/18 Ethernet120/1/18 is down (vpc peerlink is down) 

Because:

5k-1# show vpc consistency-parameters interface e120/1/18 Legend: Type 1 : **vPC will be suspended in case of mismatch** Name Type Local Value Peer Value ------------- ---- ---------------------- ----------------------- Speed 1 10 Gb/s - Duplex 1 full - Port Mode 1 access - MTU 1 1500 - Admin port mode 1 - Shut Lan 1 No - Allowed VLANs - 1 Local suspended VLANs - - -
