When a VM is first deployed or whenever you do additional VM activities, such as cloning or migrating, you may set a VM storage policy. cloudadmin users or other roles cannot change the default storage policy for a VM with equal privileges after deployment. Changes to the VM storage policy per disk are allowed, nevertheless.

The Run command enables authorized users to modify the pre-existing or default VM storage policy to a different policy that is accessible for a VM after deployment. The disk-level VM storage policy remains unchanged. You may always modify the VM storage policy at the disk level to suit your needs.
