From one Datamover deploy the new Vmware tags after an upgrade:

dsmc -optfile=dsm_<dm>.opt set vmtags

Command not working with dsmc, only scheduled on TSM server

dsmc backup vm -domain.vmfull="Schedule-Tag" -vmbackuptype=FULLVM -asnodename=<DCNODE> -MODE=IFINCR

Tag name must match TSM server objects, for example if you setup a tag in category management class, it must match the name of the management class, the same for the datamover…
