[one-users] onetemplate and dynamic names

[Carlos Martín Sánchez]

Hi,

That is what the --name option does. From the man page [1]

--name name        Name of the new VM or TEMPLATE. When instantiating
                           multiple VMs you can use the "%i" wildcard to
produce
                           different names such as vm-0, vm-1...

For example: onetemplate instantiate 1 --name somestring-%i -m 4


In OpenNebula 4.0 this will change and VMs will be named by default
'templatename-<vmid>', instead of 'one-<vmid>'
