In the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface, the Workloads page might display a long list of workloads. Searching through these workloads to manage operations for similar workloads can be time-consuming. To overcome this issue, you can create tags for various workload categories, departments, or other logical associations appropriate to your environment. The tags you create can be associated with any workload that you manage in the Web Interface.
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 Migrate Web Interface, click Settings > Workload Tags, then click 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.
After you create tags, they are available on the Edit Target Details page where you can associate a tag to the appropriate workloads. Use the Tags column on the Workloads view to visually group similar workloads so that you can easily manage operations on these workloads. For information about associating tags with workloads, see Using Tags to Track Logical Associations of Workloads.
You can modify the name or color associated with a workload tag. Its associations with workloads is not affected.
To modify a workload tag:
In the Migrate Web Interface, click Settings > Workload Tags.
On the Create Workload Tag page, specify a different tag name or color for the tag.
Click Save to list the tag on the Workload Tags page.
You can delete tags when you no longer need it, such as when the logically associated workloads have been successfully cut over and the migration jobs cleaned up. You can also edit the migration configuration to remove or change the tags associated with workloads. You cannot delete a tag if it is associated with any workload in the list.
To delete a workload tag:
In the Migrate Web Interface, click Settings > Workload Tags.
Locate the tag of interest, then click Delete next to the tag name.
Click OK to confirm the delete.
