You can use the following procedure to create storage classifications in System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). Storage classifications enable you to assign user-defined storage classifications to discovered storage pools, typically by quality of service (QoS). For example, you could assign a classification of GOLD to storage pools that have the highest performance and availability.
Account requirements To complete this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrator user role or a member of the Delegated Administrator user role.
