[one-users] Setting hostname for vm

[kerryhall .]

Thanks!

So it sounds like I need to edit the "vm description file" and change the
"hostname" variable.

Where is the "vm description file" located? I tried running the following
google search:
site:http://docs.opennebula.org/4.6/ "vm description file"

But only got one result,
http://docs.opennebula.org/4.6/user/virtual_machine_setup/cong.html, which
I've already read.

I'm assuming that the "vm description file" is a file that is created on
the server running sunstone, some sort of conf file that is stored
somewhere. But I could be completely wrong.

Thank you for the assistance.
