During a recent PoC at one of my customers, I was asked how they could assign some important vSphere Tags to their VMs during vRealize Automation’s provisioning process. While vRealize Orchestrator (vRO), is typically the place for such customizations, I found that vSphere tag functionality wasn’t included in vRO’s default Library. However, this functionality was included in PowerCLI, so to meet their need I showed them how to write a PowerCLI script for tag assignment, and then wrap it in a vRO workflow. In this article, I’ll show you how to achieve the same end, starting with configuring vRO’s PowerShell Plug-in, and ending with creating your own workflow for assigning a vSphere tag to a VM.
