instance name in vsphere?

HI all,

 

My environment is CS4.0 + vsphere.

 

I found the instance from vsphere named as like i-2-3. Would like to know
how Cs picks up this name for vsphere

 

Can I customize the name as what I want, say, i-project_A-zone1?

Hi,



This is available with 4.2  @ https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Allow+user+provided+internal+VM+name+on+hypervisor+for+guest+VMs



Use the Global config :
vm.instancename.flag

Append guest VM display Name (if set) to the internal name of the VM

false




Thanks,

Sailaja.M

You can at least change the VM suffix in 4.0.x, i.e. "i-2-3-yoursuffix"
instead of "i-2-3-VM".  It is controlled with the "instance.name"
parameter in Global Settings.

Best regards,
Kirk

But, This is coming in as part of 4.2 release.
