Create TagCategory, Tag and Assign Tag to VM - PowerCLI way

[virtualtech_wor]

Hi,

I created a Tag Category, create some Tags under this Tag Category and Assign the Tag to a VM as below.

Observations: Tag Management is not compatible with PowerCLI 6.3. That's the reason I have PowerCLI 6.5 which supports Tag management.

Guess I'm correct?

Virtual Environment:

VCSA: 6.5

VMware vSphere PowerCLI 6.5 Release 1

Windows 2012 R2

Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Core

$vCenter = "testvcenter"

$Creds = Get-Credential

$global:DefaultVIServers = $null

Connect-VIServer $vcenter -Credential $Creds

New-TagCategory -Name "MyTagCategoryUman" -Cardinality "Single" -Description "Testing Tags for CommVault" -EntityType "VirtualMachine"

New-Tag -Name "backup_bronze_CV" -Category "MyTagCategoryUman" -Description "Test Tag for CommVault Bronze"

New-Tag -Name "backup_platinum_CV" -Category "MyTagCategoryUman" -Description "Test Tag for CommVault Platinum"

$myTag = Get-Tag -Category "MyTagCategoryUman" -Name "backup_bronze_CV"

Get-VM "WIN2k12CVTest" | New-TagAssignment -Tag $myTag

PowerCLI 6.5.1 (which is newer than 6.5R1) is even better.
It fixes a number of known issues.
