Network domain option and duplicate instance names

[Sean Hamilton <se...@seanhamilton.co.uk>]

Hi all,

I'm hoping that you could shed some light onto an issue I've been having.

I have two zones in one region both zones have the same "Network Domain"
setting of: zone1.local. I thought that this would be enough to stop
instances with the same name being created in both zones, but it doesn't
seem to be working.

Has anyone successfully used the Network Domain settings at the network or
zone level to prevent duplicate instance names?

Thanks,
Sean

Thanks for the reply Geoff.
Could you clarify what the Network Domain setting should do at the domain,
zone and physical network level?
Could I set the Network Domain to .local at the domain level?

Cheers,
Sean

Sean,

CloudStack let's you create instances with the same name, even in the same account, as long as they are on different networks.

I note you want to prevent this across two different zones, but as Zones are effectively autonomous, only sharing the management layer, I'm sure this will be impossible.
