vCenter attribute of VM_SUFFIX?

[Dave (David Carlo)]

I was wondering if there was a way to suffix the VM ID to the vCenter hostname instead of using the ID as a prefix? Setting VM_PREFIX is nice, but it makes things messy in vCenter when it comes to sorting. Being able to set something like this would be great:
VM_SUFFIX = ($i)
Which would generate a vCenter VM name of "www-prd-01(456)" for a VM named “www-prd-01” w/ ID of 456

Thanks for the great work guys!

good idea! its true that it would be nice to have a feature for allowing custom names in vCenter so for the moment i added a new issue based on your request.

vCenter custom names for Vms

Thanks.
