I just hope you're not talking FCX's.... if you upgrade those to 8.x firmware, you'll lose sflow on the 10gb ports. Once you upgrade, they send a corrupted sflow packet, and at *far* less then the rate that you configure. Even if you adjust your parser to compensate for the corrupt packet, they're still dropping the large majority of samples, making sflow pretty much useless. It's been several months since we reported this, and we're still waiting on a fix.
