RSPAN and VTP

Have the following design

AS we have below  the phne connects to the 3750-A access layer switch (VTP mode client) which connects to the nexus 5596  (The nexus is the layer 3 device and set to vtp mode server) and finally we have a Voice recorder that connects to another access layer 3750-B switch.(VTP mode client)

This is a simplified form of the diagram (have not shown resillience)

   VOIP phone ******* 3750-A *******  Nexus5596  ********** 3750-B*********VAM (voice recorder)

IF you can help with my questtion below

For voice recording I need to setup RSPAN and the nexus5596 does not support  RSPAN will the following have any impact on the nexus

IF I move the 3750-B to VTP server mode and run the command remote span on the VLan I need to Rspan its going to update the VTP data base in short it will update the vlan.dat file for all the switch in that VTP domain.

AS the vtp update reaches the nexus saying there is a change (keeping in mind the nexus does not support rspan not sure hows its going to handle that request and how its going to update its vlan.dat file)

Is it going to incremment the VTP revision number  ?

can it crash the vlan.dat file  on the nexus ?

or do nothing and ignore the update and stop the update from proceeding to the 3750 A switch ?

Unfortunatley I do not have a LAB with nexus or I would have tested it out  your help is very much appreciiated

Thanks in advance
