Parameter	Type	JSON Type	Description	Default	Mandatory
name	NsPerfPolicyName	string	Name of the Performance Policy. String of up to 64 alphanumeric characters, - and . and : and space are allowed after first character. Example: 'SQL Server Logs'.		true
description	NsDescription	string	Description of a performance policy. String of up to 255 printable ASCII characters. Example: '99.9999% availability'.	''	false
block_size	NsUnsignedLong	number	Block Size in bytes to be used by the volumes created with this specific performance policy. Supported block sizes are 4096 bytes (4 KB), 8192 bytes (8 KB), 16384 bytes(16 KB), and 32768 bytes (32 KB). Block size of a performance policy cannot be changed once the performance policy is created. Unsigned 64-bit integer. Example: 1234.	4096	false
compress	NsBoolean	boolean	Flag denoting if data in the associated volume should be compressed. Possible values: 'true', 'false'.	'true'	false
cache	NsBoolean	boolean	Flag denoting if data in the associated volume should be cached. Possible values: 'true', 'false'.	'true'	false
cache_policy	NsCachePolicy	string enum	Specifies how data of associated volume should be cached. Supports two policies, 'normal' and 'aggressive'. 'normal' policy caches data but skips in certain conditions such as sequential I/O. 'aggressive' policy will accelerate caching of all data belonging to this volume, regardless of sequentiality. Possible values: 'disabled', 'normal', 'aggressive', 'no_write', 'aggressive_read_no_write'.	'normal'	false
space_policy	NsSpacePolicy	string enum	Specifies the state of the volume upon space constraint violation such as volume limit violation, snapshot limit violation, volumes above their volume reserve or snapshot reserve if the pool free space is exhausted. Supports two policies, 'offline' and 'non_writable'. Possible values: 'invalid', 'offline', 'non_writable', 'read_only', 'login_only'.	'offline'	false
app_category	NsString	string	Specifies the application category of the associated volume. Plain string.	'Unassigned'	false
dedupe_enabled	NsBoolean	boolean	Specifies if dedupe is enabled for volumes created with this performance policy. Possible values: 'true', 'false'.	'false'	false
