Connect servers to storage using FC: switch or direct attach ?

$

My scenario:

I have a DS3400 DISK SYSTEM DUAL CONTROLLER FIBRE CHANNEL storage equipped with two controllers each equipped with two 4-GBPS FC ports, for a total of four FC ports.

Then I have four servers each equipped with one IBM 4-GBPS FC SINGLE-PORT PCI-E HBA card.

I'm trying to setup a Windows 2012-R2 Hyper-V cluster.

It is sufficient that I connect each server to one of the four FC ports of the DS3400 or I need some sort of FC switch to obtain the fact that if one storage's controller crash the cluster still obtain access to the storage ?

Thank you for any support !
