Re: how to let the instance name (instance-xxx) equal to the hostname of the instance (chosen by the user)??

 

Hi,

Yes - when you list your vms via xe vm-list, you get the name-label of the
instance.
The question is how to modify openstack to let the hostname of the created
instance equal to this name-label?

Thank you,
Afef
