I think it should work, see interop matrix

Can you please give us the port information on the N5K, plus the error message ?

This seems to be a nasty issue;

AIX server that is either Fibre Channel or FCoE attached to an N5K. AIX is the only device that uses Class 2 for its Fibre Channel Control Plane Traffic. (FICON does as well, but the N5K does not support FICON).
