Normal behavior when renaming a VM? (manual directory name changes too)

Featured Replies

Hi, this may have been asked/answered but I didn't have luck searching... 

I think the title says it all, but basically I have a VM with a manual primary vdisk named... it changes names when I change the name of the server (this doesn't seem to happen if it is in a location other than where it "would be" in auto.. but if it is in the "auto" location, even set to manual... it seems to change... 

it's not a big deal, I was just trying to rename a vm with a "-old" to create a new one named the same as original, and realized it switched the "manual" designation to "auto" and renamed the folder in the domains directory..  I repeated and got same result... so I then manually used a different folder (that didn't match vm name) and this didn't happen.

 

resolving it was simple enough, I'm just curious if this is a choice that was made for "reasons" or just an oversight... doesn't seem like it should if it is "manual"

 

TIA

You should report in the stable bugs, which release are you on a there was bug for VM renames but would have to check which version it was added, but may still be an issue with your use case. i.e. not auto as I think the rename expects to be in domains/VM Name.

ok, I can't see a way for me to move it (though mods probably can) should I just delete and repost when I have time tonight? 
I should have looked at where I was posting better I suppose. Thanks.

edit: actually I hadn't looked, but it is now in VM Engine, which isn't where I posted, so I assume it was moved by someone who knows where it should go... so thanks!
