Hi Karthikeyan,

FEX support in Nexus 9K is software version dependent. Release notes for 6.1.2.l2.2 do not list support for FEX.

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus9000/sw/6-x/release/notes/612I22_nxos_rn.html

Release notes for 6.1.2.l2.3 and later releases state "FEX is supported only on the Cisco Nexus 9372PX and 9396PX switches. It is not supported on the other Cisco Nexus 9300 Series switches or the Cisco Nexus 9500 Series switches."

Suggest you check once with your System Integrator or Cisco contact. Hope this was of help.
