-------------------------------
Summary: Update naming convention for VMware VMs
Key: VCL-1025
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-1025
Project: VCL
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: vcld (backend)
Reporter: Andy Kurth
Assignee: Andy Kurth
Fix For: 2.5
The VMware ESXi 6.5 web console displays the following warning when editing a
VM provisioned by VCL:
{noformat}The virtual machine's name cannot contain double quote, colon or
slash characters{noformat}
The current naming convention is:
<_computer.hostname_>*:*<_imagerevision.imagename_> (<_shared_>|<_dedicated_>)
The colon can be replaced with an underscore. The shared/dedicated was added to
be able to tell if a VM uses a shared virtual disk (linked clone) or a complete
copy of an image was created for the VM. This isn't very useful.
It would be useful to change the display name for VMs that are actively
assigned to a reservation.
