Field 'tags' is read-only. when setting it via xe vm-param-set tags

[gdelafond]

Hello,

I try to set tags on a VM with xe vm-param-set uuid=bbadf1e9-8da9-d347-2c60-8f4f5e725ae5 tags=test but it says that the Field 'tags' is read-only.

The tags Field is a SRW field when listing it the xe vm-param-list:

# xe vm-param-list uuid=bbadf1e9-8da9-d347-2c60-8f4f5e725ae5 | grep tags
                                  tags (SRW):

Is it a bug of the XAPI? or did I make mistakes when using xe vm-param-set tags?

Thank you.

You can use:

xe vm-param-add uuid=... param-name=tags param-key=...

which sets individual values in the set. For some reason, the tags field does not have a "set all tags at once" option (some other set field do have this, with comma-separated lists).

@robhoes It works with xe vm-param-add.
I did not think to look at another command as the error was Field 'tags' is read-only. The error should be something like This is a set, use xe vm-param-add I think.

Thank you!
