Absolutely, VM-FEX will work with any N5K switches. You can take benefit
of fabric path as well on the 5500 series to configure your fabric, and
use evpc+ downstream if you have a pair of n5ks and would like to have
an active / active vpc environment to the vm-fex.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Could you please give me some reference docs/design guides?

Those are in the works, expect them posted on cisco.com very soon!

One more question.
According to your first post, VM FEX is supported by all N5K switches.
But following cisco document states that it is supported only by N5500.
---------------------------------------------------
Switch
VM-FEX is supported by the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform running Cisco NX-OS Release 5.1(3)N1(1) or later.
---------------------------------------------------
So, which one is correct?

The platform that supports VM-FEX is the 5500 you're absolutely right and the documentation is correct. I should have been more specific initially.
