[one-users] VM instance gets default name even if NAME is specified

[Francesco Camisa]

Thanks!

That pretty much solves the problem, i didn't even try to leave the neme field blank.

I will open a request in case somebody founds the instantiate button proposed modification useful.

The NAME parameter of the template is primarily intended to name the  
template itself. In Sunstone, if you instantiate the VM from the Virtual  
Machines section, you can leave the name field blank and the name of the  
selected template will be used.

Still, i would suggest you to open a request in http://dev.opennebula.org  
if you want the default instantiate button behaviour to be changed, so  
that it is considered for the next release.

Thanks!

Hector
