Issues migrating from ASA 5585 pair to Firepower 4125 in ASA mode

We have a 5585 pair in active/standby. Each 5585 is directly connected to a Nexus 7k. The 5585's failover link is directly connected via 10g fiber between buildings. I have two new FP4125's that I have created a logical ASA on each one, copied the config and all the contexts over to the logical ASA's, the management context is up and the management standby IP is up, but NONE of the context standby IP's will show up in the 'standby' Nexus 7k, so the standby IP's aren't reachable and causes failover to be broken. TAC doesn't seem to have an idea and wants us to update the Nexus code since we're on 6.2. Anyone else run into this before? 

FP4125 version

Version: 2.12(0.498)
Startup-Vers: 2.12(0.498)

 

ASA Version 9.16.4.19

 

NX7K  System version: 6.2(16)

 - If same ports are used on the network then clear the arp cache on the involved ports and or clear the arp cache completely for instance on the standby nexus ,

context, how you add ASA image into FPR4100?

Have you allocated interfaces to the contexts within context configuration in the default context?  If yes, then verify if the interfaces are enabled in FXOS.

Are you using portchannels on your Nexus interfaces? If so, note that each ASA (primary and secondary) uses separate portchannels to the Nexus cores. While a Nexus portchannel can span two physical devices visa use of vPC, there's no such construct on the ASA (or FTD for that matter).
