Dear Carlos, Thanks for your advise and suggestions.
The reason that I want to change the VM guest name is that I want to use my customer service ID for each VM. For every customer subscribe our VM, we will provide our customer number(similar to telephone number concept) as reference. It helps for future billing and support communication. If we use one-<id> as reference, we need to cross-check with Opennebula DB. If the DB got problem, we will lose all customer subscription info. When I use SunStone to create Virtual Machines, it will ask the Virtual Machines name. Where will it store this variable so that I can use it to replace the server name of the deployment file.
