Running into an oddity when changing the name attribute of a VM. When the name attribute is changed via the either the WebAdmin or PUP it does not update the <Name> element within the VM OVF. The database table entry: vm_static --> VM_name does however get updated.
Upon trying to start the VM or restart it in the case of updating the name while it was in a running state the below will occur: VM <vmname> is down. Exit message operation failed: domain '<vmname> ' already exists with uuid <UUID>. VM <vmname> was started by <username> (Host: <ovirtnodehostname>). This can be worked around however by simply hand-editing the VM OVF and changing the <Name> element to the desired name. This is observed with the current released version of the ovirt-engine (ovirt-engine-3.0.0_0001-1.6) - Chris
