I also have a Mixed VC of 8 members with 2 4500 and 6 4200.
All members are eventually crashing and getting back to VC including the 4500.
I have a 4 10G port LAG uplink on the 4500s to the Core. I reduced the link to just one link and the problem is still happening.
JTAC told me that is a known bug on version 11.1R which will be corrected on 11.1S. Let's hope it solves the problem.
I also cannot understand how they put available a version where a simple uplink will tear down a VC. Don't they have Labs to test this things??
If the problem was some obscure thing only happening in very specific situation, that I would understand, but happening with a basic configuration which is used by everybody??
Well, unless their DataCenter is composed of one isolated VC....
