Thanks for sharing the information's, I check the file structure and database entries. I had problems with too long names during coding a oVirt backup tool [1]. Here is a limitations list [2]. There was the problem that a Windows VM name can only be 15 characters long, others can named with 64 characters.
Which OS you used on the problematic VM? cheers gregor [1] https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup [2] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.2/html/Administration_Guide/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization_Manager_configuration_options_explanations_limitations_and_best_practices.html On 12/06/16 02:16, Colin Coe wrote: > We had the same problem.
