Yeah and virt-manager's support is basically a hack, since rename won't happen if there's nvram, or managed save, or snapshots for example. But the virt-manager support predates those bits, when rename wasn't too problematic. We really just need a proper 'rename' API that handles migrating all the hidden stuff that is dependent on VM name. - Cole _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list virt-tools-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
