Get-Tagassignment Problem sind vcenter 6.5

[aschi75]

Hi I have a script for exporting VM Details like Tags, etc. which works since months.

My collegue updated our Vcenter from 6.0 to 6.5 and since than I didn't get the Tags anymore. I installed "VMware-PowerCLI-6.5.0-4624819.exe" and also Powershell 5.1 "Win8.1AndW2K12R2-KB3191564-x64.msu" on the webcommander Server but the Problem persists.

It still works If i run the Script in ISE on the Webserver where Webcommander is running .

Part of the script: $getCategory = Get-TagCategory foreach ($cat in $getCategory) { ->with webcommander it's not going inside the loop.

Another Test: $GetVms = Get-VM | Where-Object {$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn"} foreach ($vm in $GetVms) { $vm.name ->this is working with webcommander

$test = ($vm | Get-TagAssignment –Category "Stage").Tag.name ->with webcommander the variable $test is empty }

Any Ideas or a known bug? Any hint is appreciated.

Regards, Roger

Try to run the script in a clean powershell console (launch cmd.exe and then enter powershell). And see if it works there.

ISE (32bit and 64bit) and powershell console (32bit and 64 bit) all may have different profiles. That's why you may see different results.

Yes, it works well in a clean powershell console.

Some other ideas?

Best Regards,

Please use Start-Transcript to save your script output in a log file. And then run it from both console and webcommander. Finally, compare the two output logs.

Hi

Thank you for the hint which gave me better logs.

It seems to be a bug in vcenter 6.5

https://communities.vmware.com/thread/569934

they opened a case: SR 17541052208

I tried some stuff with invoke-command bus wasn’t able to get it running.

I hope the next release of powercli will solve the problem.

You don’t have to investigate more time.

Thank you very much.

Best Regards

Roger

Thanks for confirming this is not a webcommander issue. I don’t work for VMWare anymore. So I have no vsphere environment to do further investigation. Sorry.
