v11 | Tag Combination with different Credentials

Post by _wayne »

Hey Board,

Question regarding to the new "Tag Combination" Feature in v11. I´ve added Tags to our vSphere Cluster like "Guest OS" (Windows, Linux, Other) and "Backup RPO" (like Standard, High or No).
Based on the Combination of both Tags i´ve tried to create different Backup Jobs.

Unfortunately i cannot find any possibility to set different Credentials for different VMs within the selected Combination.
The Dialog for selecting OS Credentials for individual items only shows up the Names of Tag Combination. No way to select the VMs within that selection :?

Any way to resolve that issue?

Greetings and thanks in advance
Wayne

Hi Wayne, do you mean there's no ability to add an individual VM when you click the Credentials button to customize the credentials?

Hi foggy,

correct.... it´s not possible to customize... neither in Application-Aware Processing Options for different Guest Processing Options (Disable VSS | SQL Truncation) nor in Guest OS Credentials Dialog for selecting different Credentials for different VMs...

Already tried this solution https://virbeaver.com/2019/03/31/using- ... edentials/ (not for Tag Combination) but unfortunately it doesn´t work :cry:

If QA gods will be on our side, multi-tag based control for Guest Processing options will make it to the following product update.
/Cheers!
