I've got an e2860 that boasts a bunch of iscsi ports.
I inherited this box or I'd of not picked this.

Is there anything I can do to rejigger this bad boy to be usable by me today with FC instead?

It lists two FC host ports, 0a and 0b, but I surmise those are for shelf expansion and not for connecting to a fabric.

If you have the E2860 model with 10Gb/16Gb onboard ports (or the 10Gb/16Gb HIC) you can convert from 10Gb for iSCSI to 16Gb for FC and vise-versa.
If you have 25Gb or 32Gb that's not possible.

#

If former you need to change the "feature pack" so FC is enabled.

#

It's not really complicated if you follow the guide but you need a reboot

#

Shelves are not connected via FC but via SAS.

Ty much.
System has 0 activity but I've got a mighty need to ship this 14 miles to prevent backup overpressure.
