Nexus not sending packets to 1 host?

I have a host on 10.1.16.253.

The nexus can ping everything in that subnet except one host.

Host is not shoing any RX packets:

veth0.16 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:16:68:C2:C2 inet addr:10.1.16.253 Bcast:10.1.16.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80:::c2c2/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MASTER MULTICAST MTU:9000 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1198312 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:155909564 (148.6 MiB) 

The mac address-table is showing that it is in Po5 which is in vlan 12? * 12 0060.1668.c2c2 dynamic 20 F F Po5

So because I haven't really touched a nexus...I just want to double check.

would doing the following resolve the issue?

config t interface port-channel5 switchport trunk allowed vlan add 16 end copy running-config startup-config

Basically just adding the vlan. All my instinct are screaming yes...but just want to double check. added info. Host is a physical host, other hosts are virtual.
