How to rename a vcmp guest?
I have used another vendor Product. Guest name change there can be done from the Management VM and it will automatically update the guest as welll . Nothing to worry about the disk files associated with it either. With F5, I have noticed that there is a "Name" object and Hostname Object for a guest on the VCMP Host. Name Object looks more like a descriptive name for the guest ( but I set the Name & Hostname to be the same). And the disk file seems to follow the Name & not the Hostname Object. So from within VCMP Guest & Host I was able to modify the Hostname. But there is no option to modify the Name & the Virtual Disk file associated with it. Disk img file would still reflect the old "Name" though you have changed the guest's Hostname. That's a discrepancy to live with. Else do a cleaner deployment of deleting and recreating a new VCMP Guest with the desired names during a maintenance window.
Would like to see any other thoughts on this ?
Thanks
