The NAME parameter of the template is primarily intended to name the template itself. In Sunstone, if you instantiate the VM from the Virtual Machines section, you can leave the name field blank and the name of the selected template will be used.

Still, i would suggest you to open a request in http://dev.opennebula.org if you want the default instantiate button behaviour to be changed, so that it is considered for the next release.

Thanks!

Hi,

from cli it works and it works as well from sunstone if I create a VM and manually set the name from there.

The thing is that when from the template section I click "instantiate" the VM defaults to "one-<ID>". Given the fact that I had explicitly set the parameter NAME=centos-servizio i would have expected the machine to have a name similar to "centos-servizio-<ID>". This would be fairly useful to identify which templates are running especially with regard to persistent images.

Thanks in advance

Francesco

Hi,

I am running a test installation (opennebula 3.2.1) with the following
configuration:
- Front-End CentOS 6.2 x86_64, mysql backend;
- 1 Host CentOS 6.2 x86_64 Virtualization drive KVM.

Everything works ok except for a small yet annoying problem. I have
created a VM template, and in it the NAME parameter is specified, but
when the VM is instantiated it always defaults to "one-<ID>".

I have read the documentation and in particular the Virtual Machine
definition file but have not been able to figuring out what I am doing
wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Francesco
