Attribute limitations
Attributes cannot be assigned to LUNs, EC2 Instances, S3 Buckets, Azure Storage Accounts or Azure Virtual Machines.
Attributes are associated with a Domain.
If an attribute has more than 400 values, and is assigned to an object, they are displayed as one value and labeled Aggregated for <n> values. Best practice is to limit attribute values to 50 total. This is applicable for:
The Host Overview report
A value displayed in a grid column for the attribute
The Inventory Hierarchy will show as a single group with the label as the count value
Contact Cohesity Support for additional information.
To assign attributes and set values in bulk
- Select Inventory.
- Navigate to the object category.
- Toggle to the Inventory List view. You can select all the objects on the page by clicking the checkbox on the top of the management page. Note that only the objects displayed on a single page are selected.
- Click Attributes. The Assign Attribute Values to Objects dialog shows if attributes are actively used in the Inventory hierarchy. It also allows you to set or modify an attribute (or multiple attributes) for all the inventory objects selected. If no value is set for an attribute, the field is blank. If different attributes' values are set for the selected objects, the value displays Multiple Values.
- Double-click the Value field beside the attribute. A drop-down list is activated.
- Choose a value to assign to the selected hosts. If the value is displayed as Multiple Values, the new value is applied to all selected hosts and will overwrite any previously set attribute. You can set multiple attributes at once.
