Cross bundling from 2960xr switches to server(no VSS, no Stackwise)

I have 2 catalyst 2960xr switch which is inter-connected by 2 interfaces and bundled each other(normal etherchannel). Now I have a requirement to connect a standalone server with 2 NIC which is to be connected in each of the switches and will be teamed in server side. 

How can I achieve cross bundling as my switches are independent(no Etherchannel Domain) to each other.? Can I use LACP teaming in server side..? What could be the appropriate solution to accomplish the redundancy if any one of the switch fails..?

 - Use for instance, this example for a  windows-based host :

@marce1000 Thanks for sharing the above document as it describes how to configure it in server side but i need a solution to configure in switch side....

 

More suggestions would be much appreciated...!
