Nexus 9k secondary crash after system switchover

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my Nexus 9000 architecture in the vPC domain. I have two Nexus joined in one domain and connected to each other with two 10Gbits peer links and a peer keepalive via supervisor with a dedicated management switch. the vPC domain is successful and synchronized.

To test failover between switches, after a "system switchover" the secondary peer crashes and reboots and activates the second supervisor. On the primary peer everything is fine by changing the active supervisor without restarting the switch. I would like to understand why this happens if it is normal or is a bad configuration. Below is my configuration:

 

N9K_A:

vrf context management


vpc domain 400
  role priority 100
  peer-keepalive destination 1.1.1.10 source 1.1.1.9
  delay restore 10
  peer-gateway
  track 10

 

interface port-channel1
  description *** Link to NEXUS_9500K_B ***
  switchport
  switchport mode trunk
  spanning-tree port type network
  vpc peer-link

 

interface mgmt0
  speed 100
  duplex full
  vrf member management
  ip address 1.1.1.9/24

 

N9K_B:

vrf context management


vpc domain 400
  role priority 200
  peer-keepalive destination 1.1.1.9 source 1.1.1.10
  delay restore 10
  peer-gateway
  track 10

 

interface port-channel1
  description *** Link to NEXUS_9500K_A ***
  switchport
  switchport mode trunk
  spanning-tree port type network
  vpc peer-link

 

interface mgmt0
  speed 100
  duplex full
  vrf member management
  ip address 1.1.1.10/24

 

 

NEXUS_9K_A# sh vpc brief

                (*) - local vPC is down, forwarding via vPC peer-link
