Nexus 7000 w/ 2000 FEX - Interface Status When N7K has power issues

I have multiple nexus 2Ks connected to two N7Ks with my servers connecting to multiple N2Ks accordingly with dual NIC failover capability.

What happens, or what state do the N2K interfaces go into if one of my N7K's looses power given the N2K is effectivly still receiving power?

dfranz,

I know it's been a while, but it's possible you still want an answer to this question. If your FEXes are dual-homed to two different 7Ks in vPC, they will continue to forward and process traffic even if one 7K loses power. Hopefully that answers your question.
