Hi,
libvirt allows you to create two guests with same name, but with
different UUIDs.
This causes some problems in the reporting though. virsh will report
that a guest is running (when it isn't). This also causes some confusion
for the dominfo call - virsh will only return info for one of the
guests. I've seen similar issues when using the virDomainLookupByName()
API.
I suspect all the issues are the same bug, but I haven't had a chance to
track down where.
Thanks!
