I’m considering the following ( Active / Passive Virtual Wire + vPC ) configuration in my primary Datacetner. I really don’t want to lose the current vPC redundancy that I have in place today. Today I can cut, unplug, power off, kick, shutdown, and I’m still up and running that's point. I also don’t want to have to redesign my entire CORE infrastructure not to mention we’ve spent a great deal of time and money to get where we are today..! Both CORE Routers are running HSRP between them with MPLS SLA monitoring. Losing half of my vPC due to the Active / Passive configuration isn't an issue in my scenario. Testing in the LAB has proven positive, but again that’s the LAB not Production.

In this setup if both PA-1 and 6K-2 failed you would have no connections.
Perhaps if your ran this it would have more resiliancy for multiple failures
PA-1 with 6k-1 e1/43 & 6k2 e1/44
PA-2 with 6k-1 e1/44 & 6k2 e1/43
