Fabricpath best practice between DCs

[mi980]

Hi Guys,

We have 2 data centres and 2x Nexus 7K and 2x Nexus 5K per data centre. I want to implement fabricpath between Nexus 7Ks and Nexus 5Ks.

Can I implement fabricpath like connecting all 4 nexus 5K edges to all 4 nexus 7K spines or connect 2x nexus 5Ks to 2x nexus 7Ks in the same data centre and connect Nexus 7Ks in both data centres

What is the Cisco recommended solution. Thanks in advance

Thanks for your response.

I checked the URL before. I could not find the Cisco recommended fabricpath solution between 2 DCs. 

Attached file has our high level network environment. Which option do you think is the Cisco recommended solution
