"list virtualmachines name=" problem.

[Dan Dong <do...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
  I found when I try to list details of the VM with name vm-1 by:
list virtualmachines name=vm-1

Cloudstack will also return me with info of another VM machine of vm-10, so
I got 2 VMs info here.
How to avoid this? Thanks.

Cheers,
Dan

Hi, Harikrishna,
  Thanks, surely UUID will work in this case, but why not let user decide
the match pattern himself? E.g:
list virtualmachines name=vm-1*
to list vm-1, vm-10, vm-11 ......

I think VM name is unique for all the VMs user created? It would be natural
if all details of a VM could be got through its name, i.e:
vm_name==>vm_details

Cheers,
Dan

Hi Dan,

listVirtualMachine API provided with vm name gives the result of VMs where name like “%Provided_VM_name%”.

As the name vm-10 is like vm-1, you are getting the result of vm-10 as well.

You can try with UUID of the vm which gives you exact vm details you want,
http://localhost:8080/client/api?command=listVirtualMachines&id=11b7032d-4c03-4fc0-a394-71d921c1e3ba
	 

Thanks,
Harikrishna
