Explanation

When using Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP), the minimum number of FC switches needed to redundantly attach three ESXi hosts is 2. This setup ensures that each host has multiple paths to the storage, providing high availability and fault tolerance. Each ESXi host should be connected to both switches, allowing for continuous operation even if one switch fails.
