Migration Nexus 7009 to 7706

[Chuchonet10]

Hi colleagues:

Currently have two nexus 7009 with SUP1/F2/FAB2  (IOS Version: 6.0(4)) I'm going to migrate to:

Nexus 7706 with SUP2E/F3/FAB2 (IOS Version: 8.4)

I'm planning to shutdown VPC Primary in old nexus, then configure NEW Nexus with same VPC Domain as Primary Role, relying on VPC preempt NEW Nexus will take the traffic. Big question is:

Based on specs VPC is compatible btw those NEXUS ?

I'd appreciate your valuable help ?

Hi,

I think you can not follow that process. These two reason are mandatory.

General guidelines and recommendations should be taken into account when deploying vPC technology at a Cisco Nexus Data Center:

• The same type of Cisco Nexus switches must be used for vPC pairing. It is not possible to configure vPC on a pair of switches consisting of a Nexus 7000 series and a Nexus 5000 series switch. vPC is not possible between a Nexus 5000 and Nexus 5500 switches. 
• The vPC peers must run the same NX-OS version except during the non-disruptive upgrade, that is, In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU).
