Hello,
Sure you have all valid questions and my answers are based from design guide:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/nexus-9000-series-switches/guide-c07-734107.html
Please find your requested answers below:
1. In vPC VTEP scenario with MP-BGP EVPN VXLAN do we need to have the vPC peers to be BGP adjacent? if YES, why we need this adjacency?
Answer: No, we dont need vPC peers to form BGP adjaceny amongst each other
2. Can you explain why we need VRF overlay VLAN and SVI for VXLAN routing?
Answer: VRF allows to create multiple tenants which can have over-lapping address
3. Why VRF overlay SVI does NOT have an IP address assigned?
Answer: Because for VXLAN routing, the local VTEP needs to rewrite the inner destination MAC address to that of remote VTEP's router MAC Address.
4. DCI between two DCs with a pair of vPC VTEPs in each. The DCs are interconnected through a multihop MP-eBGP.
4.1 can you propose me a documentation regarding the this design?
4.2 is the full-mesh eBGP between the four VTEPs is the proper solution?
4.3 should I distribute the MP-BGP EVPN routes into inter-DC IGP?
4.4 how I must tune the MP-BGP to use both opposite VTEPs for load balancing?
Answer: VXLAN Control Plane for DCI currently can be considered as work in-progress. It was not originally meant for this solution but it has all bits-n-pieces to be used as DCI.
There is good blog post on this topic by Yves - http://yves-louis.com/DCI/?p=965 It covers scenarios and packet walks as well.
For details on specific DCI design and best-practises, i would recommend to reach out to your local Cisco Representative or Network Consulting Engineer who can help you to design DCI-VXLAN as per your network requirements.
Thanks,
Vishal

Hello Renato,
That is very good question - Yes Leaf-Spine Topology design doesn't allow two leafs to be connected with each other. But vPC on Leaf-Spine fabric is special design and it is supported on Nexus 9ks (standalone mode).
The guide you are referring is basic configuration on Nexus 9k platform for features like POAP, Terminal settings, File Systems and so on..
Please refer to link below on VXLAN-vPC Configuration:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus9000/sw/7-x/vxlan/configuration/guide/b_Cisco_Nexus_9000_Series_NX-OS_VXLAN_Configuration_Guide_7x/b_Cisco_Nexus_9000_Series_NX-OS_VXLAN_Configuration_Guide_7x_appendix_0101.html
Thanks,
Vishal
