[one-users] Instantiating Multiple VMs from Template with Name

[Héctor Sanjuán]

Hello,

The immediate solution I can offer now is a change to line 764 of
src/sunstone/public/js/plugins/vms-tab.js:

Sunstone.runAction("Template.instantiate",template_id,vm_name+"_"+i);

into

Sunstone.runAction("Template.instantiate",template_id,vm_name+"-"+i);

This file is installed into /var/lib/one/sunstone/public/js/plugins/ in
system-wide installs. You can change it directly there. No need to
recompile anything. Remember to refresh the browsers window so that the
updated file is fetched.

Indeed, behaviour should be the same. For the moment, I'll fix that for
the moment. Additionally, i have opened a ticket to allow more freedom
in naming when instantiating multiple VMs:
