IBM FlashSystem products are primarily block storage systems, meaning they provide storage in the form of blocks of data that can be accessed by servers like individual hard drives. If you need Network File System (NFS) capability, you should consider IBM Storage Scale, which is designed for file and object storage and can be accessed via NFS, SMB, or object protocols.
"Google is saying that the IBM FlashSystem 5045 supports a NFS share" => Please share any reference. But anyway it is incorrect.

Subject: NFS share on IBM FlashSystem 5045
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.
