Migration underway from vSphere 6.5 to 7.0 (ESXi 6.5 to 7.0U2 and vCenter 6.5 to 7.0U3).
I refreshed my PowerCLI and set about to validate production scripts. I find no useful way to fix Get-TagCategory. Why is it not working? Any tips to get better debugging information other than:
Error is + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (:) [Get-TagCategory], VimException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Core_OutputHelper_WriteNotFoundError,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.Tagging.GetTagCategory
The working vSphere 6.5 environment does not have Enhanced Linked Mode (ELM) vCenters. The vCenter 7 are using ELM.
Here is some test code:
#Working vSphere 6.5
Disconnect-VIServer -Server * -Confirm:$false
Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -scope Session -ParticipateInCeip $false -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore -DefaultVIServerMode Single -Confirm:$false
Connect-VIServer -Server avcenter.corp.mycorp.com -AllLinked:$false
$CatAv = Get-TagCategory -Name "CommVaultBackup" -Server avcenter.corp.mycorp.com
Write-Host $CatAv #Fails vSphere 7.0 vCenter ELM
Disconnect-VIServer -Server * -Confirm:$false
Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -scope Session -ParticipateInCeip $false -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore -DefaultVIServerMode Multiple -Confirm:$false
Connect-VIServer -Server pvcenter.corp.mycorp.com -AllLinked:$true
$CatPv = Get-TagCategory -Name "CommVaultBackup" -Server pvcenter.corp.mycorp.com
Write-Host $CatPv |
Here is the console output:
