How can a VM or Volume Group (VG) be associated with a Storage Policy?

Explanation

In Nutanix, Storage Policies are not directly assignable to individual VMs or Volume Groups. Instead, Storage Policies are linked to Categories - a logical grouping/tagging mechanism in Prism Central. To apply a Storage Policy to a VM or VG, an administrator assigns the VM or VG to the same Category that the Storage Policy targets. Prism Central then automatically enforces the policy (e.g., QoS settings, replication requirements) on all VMs and VGs belonging to that Category. This category-based approach enables scalable, policy-driven management without requiring per-object configuration.
