The list of policies is populated with only those policies that are valid for the storage object type you selected.

You select the policy you want to apply to the object or objects, and then you click Apply Policy.

There are a few cases where an error message may be returned when you attempt to apply a policy, for example, when applying a combination policy to a FlexGroup volume, where the second counter includes either a node or aggregate object. Because FlexGroup volumes can be spread across multiple nodes and aggregates, this operation is not allowed.
