I've tried that. Disconnecting one fiber of a GigE link would knock down
the link (bidirectional wise) and thus won't have unidirectional link. Per
Cisco, a failed transmitter or receiver can cause a unidrectional link, but
not sure how to create that.

Yes, the fastest way is to disconnect one fibre of a GigE link.
