How to rename a VM
Is there any change to rename a virtual machine in VM manager? :confused:
I need to import virtual machines with the same names. The operation just hangs and cannot be completed |
Hello,
There are steps to renew virtual machine 1. Shut down vm. 2. Rename virtual machine's xml file: mv /etc/libvirt/qemu/old.1118.vm.xml /etc/libvirt/qemu/new.1118.vm.xml Change vm's name in the file new.1118.vm.xml Delete filterref section from the file. 3. Rename vm's volume: mv /kvm/old.1118.vm /kvm/new.1118.vm 4. Redefine vm: virsh undefine old.1118.vm virsh define /etc/libvirt/qemu/new.1118.vm.xml 5. Change name in the VMmanager's data base: update vm set name='new.1118.vm', name_idn='new.1118.vm' where id=<vm id in VMmanager>; update volume set name='new.1118.vm' where id=<volume id in VMmanager>; 6. Restart VMmanager killall core 7. Go to VMmanager -> virtual machine, click to edit button and select checkbox "Disable anti-spoofing", click to OK. Then open form again and unselect checkbox "Disable anti-spoofing". It is necessary to make anti-spoofing rules be recreated with new vm name. 8. Power up vm |
