Hi Bhavin, Firstly the VMs Hostname is always taken from the 'name' setting and not the 'display name' this is why the name setting cannot have spaces (as Hostnames are not allowed to have spaces) but the display name can.
Regarding https://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.2.0/html/Admin_Guide/append-displayname-vms.html - This setting changes how the MVs are listed on vCenter, and does not influence the VMs Hostname Regards Geoff Higginbottom D: +44 20 3603 0542 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +447968161581 geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com -----Original Message----- From: chinu shah [mailto:chinu2...@gmail.com] Sent: 23 January 2015 02:50 To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Cc: vijayendra.bhamidip...@citrix.com; suresh.ramamur...@nuagenetworks.net Subject: Re: Hostname and IP address of VMs created from template. Thank you Geoff for the response, could you give insights how will it set automatically on guest VMs. According to the Documentation (" https://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.2.0/html/Admin_Guide/append-displayname-vms.html";), when we create a VM with Display name we still do not see the hostname set as display name. We are using centos "CentOS 5.3(64-bit) no GUI (vSphere)" provided by cloudstack. Hypervisor type is VMWare. Does the default template miss any scritps to set the hostname as display name. We have set the hostname to localhost and manually stopped and rebooted but still the hostname was not set to display name.
