The technical reason is that it is a LOT of work to rename a guest (multiple files have to be renamed, and as the name of the guest is leaked through to the qemu process, renaming an online guest becomes even more problematic). You are welcome to submit patches to implement it, but so far, no one else has been willing to tackle it. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
