• Under General, click the Default Storage Policy Edit button, and select the storage policy that you want to assign as the default policy to the vSAN datastore.

  (You can choose from a list of storage policies that are compatible with the vSAN datastore, such as the vSAN Default Storage Policy and user-defined storage policies that have vSAN rule sets defined.)
