We created a 2nd vDC and moved all ports into that context. We noticed that
rebooting a non-default takes about 2 minutes, while rebooting the default
context (obviously) reboots the entire chassis with takes about 8-10
minutes.

Do this will save you a little time if you have a software glitch, but won't
help if you have a major hardware problem. So far, the 7K have been
relatively stable.
