As part of this SDRS integration with storage profile, one SDRS cluster level advanced option is introduced, EnforceStorageProfiles. Advanced option EnforceStorageProfiles takes one of these integer values, 0,1 or 2 where the default value is 0.
When option is set to 0, it indicates that there is NO storage profile or policy enforcement on the SDRS cluster.
When option is set to 1, it indicates that there is storage profile or policy SOFT enforcement on the SDRS cluster. It is analogous with DRS soft rules. SDRS will comply with storage profile/policy in the optimum level. However if required, SDRS will violate the storage profile compliant.
When option is set to 2, it indicates that there is storage profile or policy HARD enforcement on the SDRS cluster. It is analogous with DRS hard rules. In any case, SDRS will not violate the storage profile or policy compliant.
