Conditions
This error message is returned when the remote vPC peer of the Nexus device being ISSU'd fails one of the Spanning Tree Protocol ISSU conditions. To view additional details about which Spanning Tree Protocol ISSU condition did not pass on the remote vPC peer, the `show spanning-tree issu-impact` commands needs to be executed on the remote vPC peer.
Workaround
Resolving the issues highlighted by the `show spanning-tree issu-impact` command executed on the remote vPC peer will allow the ISSU to continue.
