Changing name of instance

Is it possible to change the name of an instance AFTER it is created? I don't see anything obvious. Does this require database modifications?

Yes it is.

AFAIK the UI does not support it. Consider using cloudmonkey or
exoscale's python-cs or any other tool to do it.

cs updateVritualMachine id=<id_of_vm> name=<new name>
