get-tagassignment error after vcenter upgrade

We have two datacenters and thus two vCenter environments. Recently one DC received an update from vCenter 7.0.1 to 7.0.2. The other one is still on 7.0.1.
On the upgraded environment the get-tagassignment and get-tag commands now error out :

 

 

get-vm alani001|get-tagassignment

Get-TagAssignment: 3/23/2021 1:13:50 PM Get-TagAssignment               com.vmware.vapi.std.errors.operation_not_found {'messages': [com.vmware.vapi.std.localizable_message {'id': vapi.method.input.invalid.interface, 'default_message': Cannot find service 'com.vmware.cis.data.svc.resource_model'., 'args': [com.vmware.cis.data.svc.resource_model], 'params': , 'localized':}], 'data': , 'error_type': OPERATION_NOT_FOUND}

 

 

Is this a known issue, and if so, what can we do to resolve this, please ?

Before I forget, I tried this on both PowerCLI on Windows (v. 6.5.1) and Linux (v. 12.0). Both go wrong....

Is your environment and vCenter configured in En-US or a local language?
PowerCLI 6.5.1?
That is a very old version, I suggest you upgrade that version.

Does the error return after you stop your PowerShell/PowerCLI session and start it again?

Already asked our Wintel guys to hurry up and upgrade PowerCLI asap......🙄

But..the error also occurs when I do the same on Linux in Powershell Core and PowerCLI 12.0.0

vCenter is configured EN-US.

And yes, after starting a fresh powershell session and reissuing the command get-vm alani001 | get-tagassignment, I do get the right output, but only in Linux, NOT in Windows...

I'm curious why you asked that question, and more curious to the solution it leads to...

There have been cases reported when a PS/PowerCLI got corrupted, and a restart helped.

I'm afraid I have no solution, I would advise opening an SR.

We ran into same issue after VSCA 7.0.2 upgrade, we are going to open SR.

Yes, we have the same problem. After upgrading vCenter 7.0.1 to 7.0.2 we can not read or write the tags. All other information like name, network, notes we can read.

Different PowerShell versions on Windows 10, Windows Server and linux clients tried. All have the same issue:

 

PS V:\> (Get-TagAssignment -Entity $vm -Category "Administator").Tag

Not sure if it helps, but I ran upgrade with -force parameter and it didn't work until I rebooted the machine.

Yes. First -force install grumbles some of the modules are in use. Reboot, install again with -force no problems. Reboot again. Now it works.

jrodriguez00,

Not sure what OP did, but I opened SR 21235836807 and support has opened a PR with engineering.

It seems that the tag commands work fine on Windows Server 2019, but not on 2012R2.

Hi, has anyone found a solution for this? We still have this problem by using PowerCLI 12.4.0.18633274 and Windows Server 2016. Thanks for any help

Maybe this has something to do with the Powershell version.

On Server 2012R2 you get

> $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

Major Minor Build Revision
----- ----- ----- --------
5 0 10586 117

Windows 10 (1909):  5 1 18362 1801

Windows 10 (21H1):  5 1 19041 1320

Server 2019: 5 1 17763 2268

Linux ($ pwsh --version): PowerShell 7.2.0

 

Server 2012 R2 is out of date. I cannot test which version you have on Server 2016.

Hi,

thanks for your reply. You're right, after I updated the Powershell version the script works again.
