Keeping SVIs up on NX-OS

Is there any way to keep an SVI up (in this case, an L3 vlan that exists purely for vPC+ keepalives) without burning a physical port for it?

From what I can see, a fabricpath connection does not keep SVIs up the same way that a typical trunk or access mode switchport does. Our intention was for device A and device B to only have fabricpath connections, no trunked ports. Is it possible to not have any standard trunk or access ports and still have any SVIs that will be "up/up?"

Nevermind, figured out what I was missing. (Mode fabricpath on the L2 vlan.)

Well, sort of. I'm able to use that command on one of the switches and everything is magically delicious, but on all my other switches it seems to just ignore the command. *headscratch*
