This read-create StorageType object records whether a QoS Flow Policer table row's configuration is stored in volatile, non-volatile, or permanent memory. As with the analogous shaper storage-type object, admins check this to confirm a critical policer's configuration will survive a reboot rather than needing to be reprovisioned after a restart. For example, before a planned maintenance reboot, an admin would verify cmQosFlowPolicerStorageType on production customer policers shows nonVolatile so their rate-limiting configuration isn't lost.
