HI  Jake ,

When you would cloned the incubator-cloudstack repository , you just need t=
o navigate to this path within it - core/src/com/cloud/vm/VirtualMachineNam=
e.java .

Hope you are able to find this.

Thanks,
Pranav

Hi Pranav,

Thanks for the reply. I cannot seem to find the file VirtualMachineName.jav=
a on my management server. Would you happen to know the full path?
I installed this cloudstack from a repository and not from source as per th=
e official installation documentation.

Best regards,
Jake

Hey Jake ,

I think this should be very much possible but would require some effort to =
modify the java code here - incubator-cloudstack/core/src/com/cloud/vm/Virt=
ualMachineName.java . This file tries to use the StringBuilder class to gen=
erate the VM name ( instance or router VM etc) and writing it to the db.

Thanks,
Pranav

Subject: Custom instance names ?

Hi All,

Wondering if it is possible to include the Account Name or User Name in the=
 instance name that is auto-created by cloudstack 4.0 (vCenter 5).

Example:
Current naming schema -> i-50-VM
Custom naming schema -> i-50-VM-companyA =A0 or =A0=A0i-50-VM-companyA-jims=
mith

Seems like it should be possible with some variables added somewhere, but n=
ot sure.

Thank you for all your help!

Jake
