Thank you Oliver,

If N7K switches have more than 100 vrfs and each vrf have more than one
vlans then means it is required to run equal numbers of routing processes.
In this case what you think which is best take: routing protocol per vrf or
enabling tracking? There may be better option other than these.

Regards
