An engineer must ensure fabric redundancy when implementing NPV mode on a Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switch. Which action enables fabric redundancy?
The correct answer is D. Connect the NPV devices to multiple upstream switches. Port-channel only helps with link level redundancy between the NPV and NPIV switches, it won't help when you need to reboot the NPV switch after enabling the NPV mode. A single NPV device can be attached to multiple upstream switches based on the documentation, but this also…

Explanation
Port-channel only helps with link level redundancy between the NPV and NPIV switches, it won't help when you need to reboot the NPV switch after enabling the NPV mode. A single NPV device can be attached to multiple upstream switches based on the documentation, but this also wouldn't help the downstream hosts, except if they are connected to both fabrics and only one of the NPV switches was restarted at a time. es/fm_3_3_1/npv.html
