A recent Gnome is very hard to build, because it depends on a dozen Linux-specifics: glibc, glib, xrandr, gvfs/fuse, dbus, systemd.
I was surprised that Oracle has done the effort for Solaris 11. E.g. they provide a gvfs clone (that does not need fuse), systemd services (that work with init and smf), and much more, just for the sole purpose: support Gnome.
I cannot believe that HPE does the same.
If there is any Gnome then it is certainly an older Gnome version (e.g. Gnome 1.4).
Sorry, I have lost my HPE account and cannot dig further...

GVFS(7) Conventions and miscellaneous GVFS(7)
NAME
gvfs - GIO virtual file system
DESCRIPTION
GIO provides a VFS API to GLib applications. It includes a 'local' implementation using POSIX. gvfs provides implementations that go beyond
that and allow to access files and storage using many protocols, such as ftp, http, sftp, dav, obexftp, etc. It also provides support for
trash folders, for cd burning and for monitoring interesting devices and volumes on the computer.
Applications use gvfs indirectly, by means of GIO loading the gvfs module that implements the GIO extension points. The gvfs support for
volume monitoring is included in a separate loadable module.
The actual gvfs implementation is distributed over a number of processes. None of these are expected to be started from the commandline,
except for debugging purposes.
Main processes:
o gvfsd - the main gvfs daemon
o gvfs-fuse-daemon - mounts gvfs as a fuse filesystem
o gvfsd-metadata - writes gvfs metadata
Volume monitors:
o gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor - a udisks-based volume monitor
o gvfs-afc-volume-monitor - a volume monitor for Apple iPhone/iPod Touch devices
Mount backends:
o gvfsd-afc - mounts iPhone/iPod touch volumes
o gvfsd-afp - mounts Apple Filing Protocol volumes
o gvfsd-afp-browse - browses Apple Filing Protocol volumes
o gvfsd-archive - mounts archive files in various formats
o gvfsd-burn - provides a location for burning CDs
o gvfsd-cdda - mounts audio CDs
o gvfsd-computer - provides computer://
o gvfsd-dav - mounts DAV filesystems
o gvfsd-dnssd - browses dnssd
o gvfsd-ftp - mounts over FTP
o gvfsd-http - mounts over HTTP
o gvfsd-localtest - a test backend
o gvfsd-network - provides network://
o gvfsd-obexftp - mounts over obexftp
o gvfsd-recent - provides recent://
o gvfsd-sftp - mounts over sftp
o gvfsd-smb - mounts Windows Shares Filesystem volumes
o gvfsd-smb-browse - browses Windows Shares Filesystem volumes
o gvfsd-trash - provides trash://
