4 Complete the virtual machine provisioning process.
After you create the virtual machine, the Summary tab displays the assigned storage policies and their
compliance status.
What to do next
If storage placement requirements for the configuration file or the virtual disks change, you can later
modify the virtual policy assignment.
Change Storage Policy Assignment for Virtual Machine Files and
Disks
If your storage requirements for the applications on the virtual machine change, you can edit the storage
policy that was originally applied to the virtual machine.
You can edit the storage policy for a powered-off or powered-on virtual machine.
When changing the VM storage policy assignment, you can apply the same storage policy to the virtual
machine configuration file and all its virtual disks. You can also associate different storage policies with
the VM configuration file and the virtual disks. You might apply different policies when, for example,
storage requirements for your virtual disks and the configuration file are different.
