             Summary: Images may fail to load if renamed in database by VMware code
                 Key: VCL-649
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-649
             Project: VCL
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: database, vcld (backend)
    Affects Versions: 2.3
            Reporter: Andy Kurth
            Assignee: Andy Kurth
             Fix For: 2.3.1


The VMware code will rename an image in the database when a vmdk is copied if the name is too long.  This causes problems in environments that use multiple image repositories or datastores.

An image captured using VIM_SSH.pm under standalone ESXi will use the full image name.  If the image is then copied by vSphere_SDK.pm, the name may be shortened in the database.  The image will then fail to load on existing hosts which already have the image in their repository and/or datastore saved using the long name.

When a reservation starts, the shortened name is retrieved from the database.  VIM_SSH.pm will then attempt to locate the image with the shortened name in the repository and/or datastore path but no image exists with that name.
