Hello, im very new to OpenNebula, i setup my first OpenNebula server with Cenots, as hosts im using my vcenter cluster, all seems be fine except the virtual machine name, each VM that im creating getting the name "one-\<vm\_id\>"  
Ho i can modify OpenNebula so the VM will have the “VM Name” set during the VM creation panel ?  
Thanks

This feature is not supported in 4.14. Having said that, the code to support this behaviour is already present in the git repository:

[https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/commit/639fede40dc22893b5eca6e00a96a70440dedb4b](https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/commit/639fede40dc22893b5eca6e00a96a70440dedb4b)

You are welcome to try this and give any feedback you deem useful.

This is related to the ruby version (it should work with 1.9+) , and has been fixed in HEAD of the master branch. Please use the latest code and try again.

Hi serverx,

Like Tino replied above, the issue was code related where Ruby code compatible with version 1.9+ was put in the repo by mistake. Developers have fixed the issue which makes the code compatible with Ruby version 1.8.7. Download the latest code from Github and recompile OpenNebula and install.

Hope this helps,  
Jesus
