\n1)cacheReservation – Flash capacity reserved as read
\ncache for the storage object. Specified as a
\npercentage of the logical size of the object. To be
\nused only for addressing read performance issues.
\nReserved flash capacity cannot be used by other
\nobjects. Unreserved flash is shared fairly among all
\nobjects. It is specified in parts per million.
\nDefault value: 0, Maximum value: 1000000.
\n2)forceProvisioning – If this option is “1” the object
\nwill be provisioned even if the policy specified in
\nthe storage policy is not satisfiable with the
\nresources currently available in the cluster. Virtual
\nSAN will try to bring the object into compliance if
\nand when resources become available.
\nDefault value: 0.
\n3)hostFailuresToTolerate – Defines the number of host,
\ndisk or network failures a storage object can
\ntolerate. For n failures tolerated, “n+1” copies of
\nthe object are creates and “2n+1” hosts contributing
\nstorage are required.If fault domains are configured,
\n“2n+1” fault domains with hosts contributing storage
\nare required.Note: A host which is not part of a fault
\ndomain is counted as its own single-host fault domain.
\nDefault value: 1, Maximum value: 3.
\n4)stripeWidth – The number of HDDs across which each
\nreplica of storage object is striped. A value higher
\nthan 1 may result in better performance (for e.g when
\nflash read cache misses need to get serviced from
\nHDD), but also results in higher used of system
\nresources.
\nDefault value: 1, Maximum value: 12.
\n5)proportionalCapacity – Percentage of the logical
\nsize of the storage object that will be reserved
\n(thick provisioning) upon VM provisioning. The rest of
\nthe storage object is thin provisioned.
\nDefault value: 0%, Maximum value: 100%. (required)

\nVSAN policy class whose default value to set. Options
\nare: [cluster, vdisk, vmnamespace, vmswap, vmem].
