How can I add a tag to a virtual machine?

What is the best way to be part of an workflow add a label to a virtual machine? The closest I found is System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.customattribute").setOrCreateCustomField (), but given that the custom fields do not appear in the web client, I need a way to do the same with the tags in place.

Unfortunately the vSphere API does not yet provide a way to create (vCenter) tags. The only way is to use the provided of the vCO powershell cmdlets.

    I know how to add a tag to a file, but a shortcut dosnt seem to accept, how do I add a tag to a shortcut?

    If it dosnt accept, what im trying to do is organize my games giving them tags for genre/s (games will be more than 1 type)

    Shortcuts do not have the ability to store the metadata of the tag.  Maybe you could just name differently or use folders.

  • How can I add a tag alt of an image in Photoshop CS5 to make web ready?

    How can I add a tag alt of an image in Photoshop CS5 to make web ready?  My web developer wants I to send him all my images with an assigned alt tag so that it allows to automate the ADA Web site accessibility. I know when I chose "Save for Web & Devices", I have the possibility of how metadata I want to include at the levels of: None, right copyright, Copyright and Contact info, everything except the camera Info, all.  I don't want the public to be able to view all the metadata, because a lot of it is sensitive to the administrative notes.  Any ideas?

    Alt tags have nothing to do with metadata. They are what the name suggests - additional HTML code. Your timer will insert, you can simply provide the text to use.

  • ESXi installation before vCenter Server?  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

    My plan for a new vSphere Essentials Plus 5.5 U2a installation is to have the vCenter Server on a virtual machine on the servers of the host on which is installed ESXi.  However, all the installation instructions I found indicate the user to first install the vCenter Server.  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi munkyman welcome to communities.

    After you have installed your first ESXi host, open a browser and go to https://your-ESXi-ip-or-FQDN

    You can download the vSphere Client here. It is a windows application that you can install on your desktop. It is often referred to as the "c# Client vSphere" in communities and blog posts, because it is a new implemented in the vCenter Server Web client.

    But for the beginning, install the vSphere Windows Client. You can then launch it and connect directly to your ESXi host. Here you can create your first virtual machine, which can be the VM vCenter (installation of Windows or device, that is you).

    You can use the web client or connect to the Server with the client c# vSphere vCenter VCenter runs.

  • How can I determine the age of a virtual machine?

    I saw some Powershell through all the events and find the event of creation, but this method is not ideal, as I understand it he can get confused by the software version upgrades, and the events cannot be kept according to the parameters.

    I can get the time of creation of the first snapshot root, for example vm.snapshot.rootSnapshotList [0] .createTime.   This is very useful and coincides with the dates of creation for many machines, but some virtual machines do not have a snapshot root.

    Can I do better?

    Thank you!

    PS: I'm using pyVmomi, but I don't think that is the problem and can switch to another language if necessary.

    Yes, if execution of a DB maintenance work it will clean the old events to the database.  So this isn't really a question PyVmomi or SDK, but just the fact of the actual event is cleaned from the DB.

    Disc creation timestamp is not a bad idea, which is creative.  I guess that the negative exists, you will not be able to get who created the virtual machine, just at the time of the creation.

    If you have control of your virtual machine creation process, you can add tags CustomValue in vSphere for the virtual machine for the creation date.  I had a few customers who have used a daily workflow script or vCO for the events of VMCreated, to transform them into CustomValues (so they don't get carved on a DB maintenance task) and works well (since it is rare that you will have VM events wiped in the period of 24 hours of the script/workflow task).

  • How can I block sharing folders on a virtual machine?

    I have a virtual machine running Win7 and a WinXP running. I need to isolate the version of WinXP shared folders, because it is ruin an installation of Visual c++ + / Dark GDK.

    I WANT the VM Win7 to share files with my Mac. I don't WANT the WinXP VM to share folders. How can I do this? If I disconnect the network in the Windows XP machine folder, when I restart it, it pops up again.

    Can anyone help?

    Well, you could just stop the sharing folders in the Virtual Machine settings.

  • How can access us the Client on a virtual machine on the host ESXi VI?

    Good afternoon, we are evaluating a virtualization solution, our company is small and we want only 3 servers to virtualize, and we want to use one of the virtual machines on the ESXi host, using the Client of VI, so we can use the keyboard and the screen of this server to access virtual machines. Our idea is to use this virtual machine as a workstation.

    Is this possible? or we use VMware server?

    Kind regards

    Cristian Fernández

    It is really not possible. Since the physical ESXi console, you will see only the menus and COS screens.
