creation and assignment of tags in vCenter via vCO

VMware is moving away from custom attributes and categories and tags.  Currently, vCO vCenter workflows for the creation of custom attributes, however, I found nothing on the automation of the creation and assignment of tags with virtual machines.

Finally, I should mention the category via vCAC at the time of commissioning.  tag could be billing department as well as the response or if the tag exists (IE Engineering) and then he would associate the (engineering) tag to the category (dept billing).  However if the tag does not exist, then a new tag and associated with the virtual machine.

thoughts?

PowerShell commands

Since version VMware PowerCLI 5.5R1 and until there are a number of commands for working with tags, such as:

  • Get - Tag
  • New-TagAssignment

I had similar questions about the tags quite awhile (5.1 is released at the time).  I don't think I ever got a response.  In the meantime, you could create a wrapper for PowerCLI orders or make calls directly to the api.  A little messy but it would work.

  • Cannot restore recent bookmark tag, despite the recent and most popular tags restoration

    Hi there, I recently lost my "recent bookmarks" and "recent tags" my bookmarks file. I sought help on the forums and followed the advice to restore the smart bookmarks folder (ranging up to about: config, double-click on the link smartbookmarks, assigning a value of 0 and restart) and it brought back the tag 'most visited' on the toolbar (which I was happy not to do) and the recent "tags" on my menu of bookmarks (which again I don't want to not really) , he brought no "recent bookmarks", which is one I really want to!

    If anyone can help, I would be grateful.

    Thank you very much

    Anais

    Hello

    Thank you very much. When I tried to restore it previously (via subject: config suggest you), I had read somewhere that I have to right click on browser.places.smartBookmarksVersion and change the value from 7 to 0, which is what I did. Bringing the tag 'most visited' and recent tag, but not the recently marked with a bookmark.

    But I just followed your advice, via the link you gave, and rather than change the value to 0, I clicked and chose just "reset" and it has sorted them. I have my return recently marked with a bookmark label.

    Thanks again.

    After that New - VM and the Start-VM the sysprep deployment will begin.

    You have to wait the sysprep command to finsih before starting the configuration of components in the guest OS.

    One way to do that is to wait for the CustomizationSucceeded event.

  • What is the difference between HP Photo Creations and Snapfish

    I've been curious.

    What is the difference between HP Photo Creations and Snapfish?

    Hi Jeff17866. The difference between these two services are the location, accessibility and share-ability of the recorded images. Snapfish is a photo on the web edition and sharing and belonged to printing HP service. You upload your images on the Snapfish site and share with other sites (Facebook, Flickr, etc) by selecting the appropriate options. The images are then stored on the cloud, and you will be able to access it from any device with Internet access. So, if you want to easily share your photos with your friends and family around the country, Snapfish is a great tool to do. HP Photo Creations is a photo editing software that you download to your desktop. You can edit your photos and order prints just as with Snapfish, but all pictures remain on your hard drive. They can be shared by downloading files on the sites you want the images appear, but you are not able to access it on other devices. -Chauntain

  • Access to the use of memory and processing power charge connect 6224 via SNMP.

    Hi support them

    Is it possible to access the use of memory and processing power charge connect 6224 via SNMP? If possible, should the mib I use?

    Thanks in advance

    Rogerio

    When looking through the available MIB found in the zip file for download of the latest firmware.  I see that the MIB fastpathswitching mentions 'agentSwitchCpuProcessGroup '.

    MIB fastpathlogging has 'agentLogInMemoryConfigGroup '.

    There is no reference document material about what offer different MIB.

  • How to create and assign a VLAN to specific ports

    In our ISA550W, create the VLANS for different subnets and assigning them to specific ports are a piece of cake and self explanitory.

    However on a SG300-10MP, I am totally lost lol. I just want to make ports 7 & 8 set to a sous-reseau.10 instead of un.6 as the rest of the switch. I need these ports to be totally independent from the rest and not to communicate with others at all.

    How can I do this?

    Thank you!

    Hi Alex,

    Under management of VLANS, go into settings of the interface.  Change the interfaces that you use to access the ports by choosing the way you want by clicking on change.

    Once they are access ports back to Port for page VLAN and assign the port desired as one not marked in this interface.

    This should be everything you need, let me know if you have any other questions.

    Hi team,

    To prevent users to log on with the VCS Highway, we want to use OpenSSL (version: 1.0.1p 9 julio 2015), but I am facing the following problem:

    1 - I can't implement the command "touch index.txt".

  • The document has been changed since its creation and use of the extended functionality is no longer available

    I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2015.016.20039 on my system. I filled a form using Foxit Reader. When I tried to open the form with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC I received the error "the document enabled extended in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC features. The document has been changed since its creation and use of the extended functionality is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document.

    I tried other PDF programs, no problem at the opening of this form.

    Ashampoo_Snap_2016.05.17_02h01m01s_002_.png

    Function "Activation reader" comes from the original shape, and it's essentially a digital signature. It is specific for the free product of Viewer PDF by Adobe (aka Adobe (Acrobat) Reader).

    The problem is that only Adobe products are able to (re) make these documents without breaking the seal of the digital signature.

    So, what happened in your case is the Foxit Viewer broke the seal during the recording of back and what's. Using Acrobat, you can save a copy of the form, and then continue will fill. Otherwise, you will be better off to start over, but stay with viewers Adobe PDF all the time, working with the form, or with a different Viewer, once again all the time you work with the shape.

    BTW, player XI and most recent no. have more need of extended for more rights blocked by previous versions of Reader. This is not enough in this case; only, it would be useful for the sender of the form.

    Update (after rereading of the original message): if it's just for viewing or print the form, you can ignore this message. You can also try to save just, you have a version of player who no longer has the rights extended (at your risk).

    I hope this can help.

  • Record an action and assign a shortcut key F1 (Photoshop CC 2015)

    I want to record a very simple action and assign a shortcut key F1.

    I record the action and choose F1, but it does not work.

    The action works if I play but not if I press the F1 key.

    It going to be fixed?

    I use the CC 2015 (trial!) version and it is not a good sign when I think to buy it.

    Its been a while I have used a Mac, but I'm pretty sure that the BONE protects the function keys. To override the F1 on a Mac, you must hold down the "fn" key and press F1, which I think then behaves like a normal F1 press. Try to start your action by pressing fn - F1.

    It might easier to choose a shortcut different keyboard for your action.

  • create a digital identity and signature certificates approved as well as creation and appearance preferences.

    How to create a digital signature from the identity and approved certificates area, but they use the image of my real signature rather than the suburbs generated text? It would be combining all upward for the certificates and the creation and appearance options.

    Signing and trust certificates are generally different. Signing certificates are digital IDs and trust under certificates of trust. Although you can add a certificate to the signature of the certificate trust and there are cases where this is recommended, so that you will be able to use a certificate for signing (with key private and public) you must include it in the digital IDs. Most certificate in the approved identities have only the public key. Certificate without the private key cannot be used for signing.
