I am trying to add an edge Exos switch to a fabric network. Fabric attach seem to be established between exos and vsp but the management vlan is showing None.

Your EXOS switch is in standalone proxy mode instead of the default client mode.
I guess you used the very unintuitive "configure fabric attach uplink <port>" command.

Type "configure fabric attach uplink none" to switch back to client mode.

Is showing None, because no FA mgmt VLAN I-SID was configured on the VSP port 1/4.
The command is :
int gig 1/4
   fa management i-sid <i-sid> c-vid <vlan-id>
exit

I see the EXOS switch has fa authentication off. Can you do a show fa interface on the VSP. 
EXOS doesn't use FA authentication by default, while VOSS does.
