If we get VTP type-2 configuration incompatible error in show VPC brief command as shown below.

N7K-6-2(config)# show vPC brief
Legend:

Then please make sure VTP version, domain, mode and password is same on the peers.

Even if you see the errors then try below steps:- 
1.       Disable and re-enable the VTP feature.
2.       Reconfigure the VTP password.
3.       Change the mode to server to client then back to server.
4.       Also check the layer-2 connectivity between the peers via peer link. It could be a problem with one or more of the peer link member port. Check for errors on the physical link of the peer link port-channel.
