Prevent transparent recall over NFS

With Spectrum Scale CES SMB there is an SMB option to prevent recalls of migrated files triggered via SMB (option gpfs:recall=no)
We would like to have this option for CES NFS as well, preventing users accessing the space managed file system over NFS transparently recalling files over NFS.

    Alternative method provided.
    IBM Spectrum Archive EE is unable to tell how a file is accessed (either by GPFS client, or remote clients through CIFS or NFS) and it cannot prevent the transparent recalls only for the accesses through NFS.
    For the challenge of managing the massive transparent recall by the end users, IBM Spectrum Archive EE 1.3.0.6 provides a new function to disable the transparent recall requests completely and enforce the end users (or storage admin) to use the bulk recall command ("eeadm recall").
