This is the policyLevel property of a storage connection policy object, a reusable storage connectivity policy template, covering zoning type and operational state, that gets attached to service profiles to define their SAN connectivity, 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 policy 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 policy under a service profile 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.
