vSphere Tags to NSX-T Tags

I created a simple powercli script to copy the vSphere Tags to NSX-T, it helped me to copy the NSX-T tags on the recovery VM's in non-federated/local NSX-T managers. Since SRM retain the vSphere TAG's on the recovery side and i was able to create NSX-T tags from vSphere Tags.

Please note i have copied vSphere tag categories to NSX-T tag scope, i have an array variable($tagCategory) in my script to include the vSphere tag categories and the tags under these categories copied to NSX-T also i have array to include variable($clusterName) for clusters as well.

$vSphereFQDN="vcenter-fqdn/IP"

$vSphereUser="username"

$vSpherePass="password"

$nsxFQDN="NSX-fqdn/IP"

$nsxUser="username"

$nsxPass="password"

$clusterName=@("Cluster01","Cluster02")

$tagCategory=@("NSX-Sync01","NSX-Sync02")

Connect-VIServer $vSphereFQDN -User $vSphereUser -Password $vSpherePass

Connect-NsxServer $nsxFQDN -User $nsxUser -Password $nsxPass

$allNSXVMs = Invoke-ListAllVirtualMachines

foreach($vm in get-vm -Location $clusterName){

$tags=@()

$nsxVM=$allNSXVMs.Results | ? { $_.DisplayName -eq $vm.name }

foreach($tag in $vm | Get-TagAssignment -Category $tagCategory)

{

Write-Host($nsxVM.DisplayName + " "+$tag.Tag.Name + " " + $tag.Tag.Category + " "+$nsxVM.ExternalId)

$tags = $tags+(Initialize-Tag -Scope $Tag.Tag.Category -_Tag $Tag.Tag.Name)

}

if($tags.count -gt 0 )

{

$tagupdate = Initialize-VirtualMachineTagsUpdate -Tags $tags -VirtualMachineId $nsxVM.ExternalId

$tagupdate

Invoke-TagVirtualMachine -EnforcementPointName default -VirtualMachineTagsUpdate $tagupdate

}

$tags = $null

}
