My Employer made a mistake in purchasing an IBM FlashSystem 5200 to have a NFS share between 3-5 servers. I found out the IBM FlashSystem 5200 does not support a NFS share. To resolve this issue, my Employer decided to purchase an IBM FlashSystem 5045. Google is saying that the IBM FlashSystem 5045 supports a NFS share, but I am not seeing it in the support documentation. Can someone confirm that the IBM FlashSystem 5045 supports a NFS share, and give me the URL link of the directions on how to set it up. Thank you.

You asked this two weeks ago in here

I think you got the answer you needed. Why are you still asking the same question?

I am requesting information for another model, the IBM FlashSystem 5045. The model I asked about 2 weeks ago is for the IBM FlashSystem 5200. After you informed me that the IBM FlashSystem 5200 is unable to support a NFS share, and I forwarded that information to my Management. They went ahead and purchased a IBM FlashSystem 5045 NL-SAS to replace the IBM FlashSystem 5200.
Our Architect requires a storage solution for:

1. One pool to store Qemu/KVM VMs that are attached to each of the hosts at the same mount point. That way, a VM can be moved from one host to another by simply un-defining from one host and defining to another. 
2. The second pool that will serve as a NFS share for the 3-5 hosts to transfer files back and forth.

Can the IBM FlashSystem 5045 NL-SAS support our Architect's requirements? If not, what do you recommend?
