Nice article.

To add, I believe you would also want to create an appliance port network control policy. The desired policy is to “warn” instead of shut down. The reason for this is that even if you lose all a fabric interconnect(s) uplinks, the servers will still be able to communicate with storage. While clients will not be able to reach servers, its always better to let the servers continue to make their storage reads and writes.
