In the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface, the Workloads page might display a long list of workloads. Sorting through these workloads to manage operations for similar workloads can be time-consuming. To overcome this issue, you can create a tag and attach the tag to all similar workloads. Tags enable you to group similar workloads so that you can easily manage operations on these workloads.
The Workload Tags page (Settings > Workload Tags) displays all the available tags. You can create new tags and edit or delete any existing tags.
To create workload tags:
In the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface, click Settings > Workload Tags > Create Workload Tag.
On the Workload Tag Creation page, specify a tag name (25-character limit) and select a color to associate with the tag.
Click Save to list the tag on the Workload Tags page.
The Workloads page includes a Tag column where the single tag you associate with a workload is displayed. You can sort on this column to group similar workloads together. This enables you to run operations on the tagged workloads at the same time.
To associate a tag with a workload:
In the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface, click Settings > Workloads.
In the workload list, select the workload you want to tag and click Configure Migration.
In the Tag section of the configuration page, select the tag name you want to associate with the workload and click Save.
To disassociate a tag from a workload:
In the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface, click Settings > Workloads.
In the workload list, select the workload for which you want to remove the tag and click Configure Migration.
In the Tag section of the configuration page, select the empty string and click Save.
NOTE:
When you export a workload with a tag setting to a new server, the tag settings persist.
You cannot delete a tag if it is associated with any workload in the list.
