If you want failover using lagg then your best bet is to get lagg between two ports on different switches. If you have a pair of switches which will present as a single device then you can use LACP to do this, else use simple failover. I do this for all our servers and it works very nicely. In your setup I am not sure why you are originally lagging the pairs of interfaces to the same switch. Is that to try and increase capacity ? If so then I have never found it to work - all the traffic goes over one interface for me. -pete.
