Creating a schedule that is compatible with tagging

Schedules are assigned to inventory objects in the vSphere Web Client to back up the virtual machines (VMs) that are in that object. Only schedules with the -domain.vmfull="Schedule-Tag" option (and no other domain-level parameters) in the schedule definitions are compatible with tagging support and can be assigned to inventory objects.

Every datacenter configured in the configuration wizard now has an automatically created tagged schedule associated with it in the vSphere plug-in. This daily schedule can be modified within the plug-in to be associated with a different tagged data mover. Other schedule attributes can be configured from the command line or Operation Center.

For ease of use, the recommended method for creating tagging-compatible schedules is to use IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center Version 8.1 or later.
