Time to get links up in vPC N7K

Question

Hello,
I have 2 vPCs between a 6509 connected and 2 different N7K 7010 (running 5.1.2), called vPC 100 and 101 on ports e10/26 and e10/27 on each N7K.
Consistencies are ok on both sides, my question is what happens if I reboot teh 6509 based on the messages I capture here below from one of teh 2 N7K, named DS1?
1) if thre is no SPT configured (all ports are on FWD), why the N7K switch has to go Blocking --> Learning --> Farwarding and taking 30 secs all together?
2) what is this message? I couldnt find it in the MESGs documentation guide.
2010 Aug 17 01:42:54.564752 stp: stp_mcs_process_sps_msg(1175): Failed (rc=0x40dd002d, No ports to aggregate set port state) SPS (Len=76)
3) why does it show:
ERROR: No spanning tree information available for Ethernet10/26
when you do sh spanning tree interface? I know its because thre is vPC but Its a bit confusing to read ERROR? dont u think so?
Thanks,
Giulio.

Thanks for the testing and tips Pondini. Sounds like everything will work, so I just ordered my copy of Snow Leopard.
You'll love it!
Your idea of excluding the the opposite boot partition from each other's time machine settings is a good one. I plan to keep most of my work files on a separate internal drive anyway (that will be included in the TM backup under either OS), so the boot partition not currently being used shouldn't change when I'm in the other OS.
Ah, in that case, don't partition the TM drive (otherwise you'll have two separate backups of the work drive). And it won't much matter whether you exclude the "other" boot volumes or not; if nothing changes, there won't be anything to back up.
There are a couple other changes in Time Machine for Snow Leopard, that you might notice:
Disk full option, messages, and handling. In TM Preferences > Options, the +Warn before old backups are deleted+ is worded +Notify after old backups are deleted+ in Snow Leopard. If the disk gets full under Leopard, the backup will fail with a message. On Snow Leopard, the oldest backup(s) will be deleted, then a message will be sent. See #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
The "Preparing" phase at the beginning of a backup is now called "Calculating Changes," and (effective with 10.6.3) you'll see "Scanning nnn items" messages when TM does a "deep traversal," and "Preparing nnn items" messages" on the TM Preferences panel and when you click the TM icon in your menubar, before actual copying gets started.
