You can connect hosts to both controllers in an HA pair using two or more FC switch fabrics for redundancy.
If you use multiple paths to a LUN, multipathing software is required on the host. FC switch zoning or portsets are recommended to limit the number of paths between hosts and LUNs in configurations with multiple target ports connected to the same fabric.
