vSphere Web Client
 User Label Conversion

A vSphere 5.0/5.1 storage profile can reference user labels displayed in the
vSphere Web Client
.
Users can associate a datastore with a user label. When you upgrade to vSphere 5.5, any existing 5.0/5.1 user labels will be converted into datastore tags.
A converted policy profile contains one subprofile for each label referenced by the original vSphere 5.0/5.1 profile.
  • A system label reference is converted to a reference to the appropriate vendor-specific “legacy system label” capability generated from that label.
  • A user label reference is converted to a reference to the appropriate datastore tag generated from that label.
The following figure shows the conversion of a vSphere 5.0/5.1 profile that references a system label “Vendor1Gold” and a user label “MyDatastores”. When you upgrade to vSphere 5.5, the system converts the profile into Storage Policy API elements.
  • The legacy system label identifies the original source as a VASA 1.0 provider.
  • The legacy user label identifies the original source as a 5.0/5.1 user label in the
    vSphere Web Client
    .
