Tags allow vSphere administrators to attach metadata to objects in the vSphere inventory to make it easier to sort and search for these objects. Tags can also be used with VM Storage Policies for Storage Policy Based Management (SPBM). vSphere with Tanzu and Tanzu Kubernetes Clusters use VM Storage Policies for placement of infrastructure objects and to define storage classes for persistent volumes. For a PowerStore T model, tags are applied VMFS block and file datastores.
To create a tag category, follow these steps:
Note: VMware recommends using Datastore Clusters and Storage DRS for Supervisor Cluster Control Plane Nodes. However, vSphere Pods enable SCSI bus sharing and if they are deployed on a Datastore Cluster, the individual datastores in the Datastore Cluster cannot be placed in maintenance mode. A Datastore Cluster loses some of its functionality if used for placement of vSphere with Tanzu Ephemeral Disks.
To create a tag, follow these steps:
To apply the tag to a PowerStore backed VMFS or NFS datastore, follow these steps:
