Issue/Introduction
Symptoms:
Unable to view Security Groups and Security Tags on the VM Summary Page on Vsphere UI after upgrading the VC and NSX environment.
If runs the API call against NSX Manager the VM is attached to it as screenshot below
GET /api/2.0/services/securitytags/tag/<securitytag-id>/vm
The issue is seen for Combination of VC version >= 7.0 and NSX version < 6.4.9
Environment
VMware NSX Data Center for vSphere 6.4.x
Cause
In VC 7.0, VC URL format is changed a bit and hence "vcGuid" was not getting set on the portlet code.
Resolution
This issue is resolved in NSX 6.4.9
Workaround: Checking the VM - Security tag relation: Networking Security UI -> Groups and Tags -> Security Tags -> VM count column UI can be used to check Virtual Machines associated with a “Security Tag”
Checking the VM - Security Group relation: Networking Security UI -> Groups and Tags -> Security Groups -> Name column -> “Effective Members” UI
Additional Information
Impact/Risks: There is no impact, it is a cosmetic issue where we are unable to view Security Tags and Groups on the VM summary page
