Good practice to avoid returning nulls. Of course, empty vm name is obviously invalid both in ACS database as well as hypervisor (VMware here, this code is not being invoked for other hypervisor any way) > VM naming convention in case vmware is used > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: CLOUDSTACK-9104 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-9104 > Project: CloudStack > Issue Type: Bug > Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the > default.) > Reporter: Priyank Parihar > > ISSUE > ====== > VM naming convention in case vmware is used. > Description > ========== > User with different account cannot create VMs with the same name, which was > possible earlier (I am not sure in which CCP version). That time naming > convention used was like this “I-<user-id>-<Display-Name>” > Currently if vm.instancename.flag is set to true the VM name will be exactly > as display name given. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
