N7K Reload - VPC

[Mokhalil82]

Hi

I am due to upgrade my nexus 7000 switches from 6.1 to 6.2 using non ISSU. So i will be changing the boot variables and reloading each switch at a time.

I have an outage window of a few hours to be on the safe side and just checking what happens to my VPCs.

So when I change the boot variables on switch 1 to point to the new IOS and reload it, what happens with my VPCs.

Will Sw2 become primary and carry on functioning. 

This is just to educate myself and avoid an unexpected scenario.

I have a dedicated peer keepalive using a port on each switch in its own vrf.

Thanks
