Today I was talking to one of our field folks and he asked if there was an issue with Tags in combination with vCLS VMs in 7.0 U2b specifically. I had tested assigning tags to vCLS VMs before, and it worked just fine. With 7.0 U2b unfortunately this has stopped working. The error you will see displayed in the vSphere Client is the following:
(vmodl.fault.SecurityError) {
faultCause = null,
faultMessage = null
}
Or as it shows in the UI:
So what can you do about it? Well, unfortunately not much right now, I filed a bug and uploaded the logs, engineers are looking at it as we speak, and hopefully, I will have an answer for those who need to use tags soon.
UPDATE: Engineering has found a workaround, customers who can’t wait for the fix can contact GSS to get the workaround implemented!
