GitHub user Ryan-AccuWeb-Cloud added a comment to the discussion: Prefix for
volumes
Hi summer-abacus,
Short answer: **No**, there's no built-in config to add a custom prefix like
`-ROOT-` or `-DATA-`. Those prefixes are hardcoded by CloudStack
(`ROOT-<instance-id>`, `DATA-<instance-id>`) and aren't user-configurable.
**Workarounds:**
1. **Rename after creation** — Use the `updateVolume` API:
```
updateVolume id=<volume-id> name=<new-name>
```
Note: this only changes the CloudStack display name, not the underlying file
on primary storage.
2. **Custom ResourceNamingPolicy** — CloudStack has a pluggable naming
framework (since ~4.2), but it requires writing and deploying custom code. Not
a simple setting.
3. **Feature request** — If you need this as a standard feature, opening a
GitHub enhancement request for a configurable naming template (e.g.,
`{prefix}-{type}-{id}`) would be the right path. It doesn't exist today.
TL;DR — not possible out of the box; use `updateVolume` for one-offs or
contribute a custom naming policy for systematic use.
