Add options to use different shared Filesystems for SAP Smart Assist

When using PHA SAP Smart Assist it is required to use NFS 4.
It would be very helpful to have an option to use NFS 3 or ISS (GPFS) instead.

    Based on the latest Security guidelines for Department of Defence (STIG V2R8) it is highly recommented not to use NFS.
    This is one of the reasons why GPFS should be supported. Or other shared filesystem solutions.
