This is the policyLevel property of a storage connection definition object, a storage connectivity definition specifying how UCS connects to a SAN, including its Fibre Channel zoning type and operational state, reflecting where in the UCS org hierarchy the governing policy for this instance was resolved from. An admin troubleshooting unexpected policy behavior on a storage connection definition can use this value to see whether the setting in effect came from the root organization, a sub-organization, or the local object itself. For example, if a storage connection definition under a SAN fabric is not behaving as its local settings suggest, checking policyLevel here can reveal that a higher-level org policy is actually the one taking precedence.
