Tags and Tag Types
Cisco UCS Central uses tags to allow users to group objects outside of the Organization or Domain Group structures. You can use the following types of tags:
-
System-defined tags—Tags that are defined by Cisco UCS Central. This includes the Maintenance Group tag, the Operating System for HCR tag, and the Adapter Driver for HCR tag.
-
User-defined tags—Tags that are created by users but have specific values.
-
Basic tags—Free text tags that can allow any value.
From the Tag Management page in the GUI, you can view all Tag Types that have been created in Cisco UCS Central. However, you can view only the Tags that are associated with an object and are in active use at any given time.
