------------------------------
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.
