You are configuring for LACP, correct?
LACP should handle getting the links up.
CatOS (first switch the module to use LACP, then group ports):
set channelprotocol lacp <module_number>
set port lacp-channel <mod>/<port>,<mod>/<port>...
Linux bonding driver options:
bonding miimon=100 mode=4 lacp_rate=1
