<div>Hi <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; ">Carsten,</span></div><meta charset="utf-8"><div><br></div>Yes, it is necessary if you want to be able to use the image name's in the template, like<div>
<br></div><div>DISK = [ IMAGE = "Ubuntu Lucic" ]</div><div><br></div><div>Otherwise, you are forcing the users to use images by their IMAGE_ID, which is an internal ID that can change at any time, e.g., you define templates for your IMAGE "Ubuntu" and a VM that uses "Ubuntu", but the VM template has be modified if you delete and register again some time later that IMAGE)</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Trying to insert a second image with the
same name into the image repository creates an error on the database layer.
Since images are already uniquely defined by their id, and it is not unlikely
that different users may choose the same name for an image, e g. “Ubuntu
Lucid”, I’m not sure this restriction is doing more good than harm (by
confusing users through hard to interpret error messages). Is it really
necessary?</span></p>
