Enable support for SLES as NFS Client on IBM Power Platform

Many SAP Customers in Europe are running SLES for their HANA DB Workload on IBM Power Systems. Due to the current search for software that offers the customer HA cluster NFS (cNFS) server functionality, Spectrum Scale is an ideal solution.

But today Spectrum Scale does not support SLES as an NFS Client on the IBM Power Platform but on Intel Platform.
