TSM VE support vSphere 5.1 tags to assign VMs into managment class

vSphere 5.1 has introduced tags. See http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Whats-New-VMware-vCenter-Server-51-Technical-Whitepaper.pdf
From the doc: The enhanced VMware® vCenterTM Inventory Service (vCenter Inventory Service) optimizes client server communications by reducing the number of client requests on vCenter Server. It also enables users to create and add inventory object–level tags. These are then used to organize and provide quicker retrieval with inventory searches.

    Thank you for submitting this request. This is consistent with our current product direction and is a candidate for a release. This is not a statement of commitment as intent and plans are subject to change. We will provide an update to the request should plans change or the enhancement is delivered. Thank you for your commitment to TSM and for your support in moving the product forward.
