Connecting Multiple Hosts to a D3710 JBOD?

Connecting Multiple Hosts to a D3710 JBOD?

I feel pretty good that it isn't workable, but is there anyway to connect 3x single domain hosts (DL380 Gen10+) to a D3710 JBOD?  Hosts servers have E208-P controllers but I can't think of how to do this.  Customer has existing D3710 they asked if they could attached the three hosts to and my knee jerk is no way but thought I'd ask all you smart people.

not doable as stated, but one small (cheapest?) change that might make it possible: replace the E208-P controllers with HPE Smart Array controllers that support external shared storage, like the P408e-p or E208e-p with appropriate firmware and settings for multi-host access.
