Hi,
this is my test setup:
DC1 with local storage, some templates, e.g. "template1"
DC2 with local storage, some templates, e.g. "template2"
what I want to do:
rename "template2" to "template1" in DC 2
actual results:
[Cannot edit Template. The Template name is already in use, please
choose a unique name and try again.]
This fails via GUI and via REST api (GUI blocks the form, you
can't click "ok").
expected results:
Template Names should at the very least just be unique for
one DC, and not for the whole engine.
Strictly speaking even this is not needed as engine uses
UUIDs to identify templates, but I agree that it might
be handier for end users to just allow a template name
once per datacenter.
This occurs on ovirt-engine 3.3.3-2.el6
but I fear this is still present in current 3.5 RC
and even master.
So please, can somebody confirm this bug so I can
open a BZ for this?
Thanks.
PS: the storage architecture type should not
matter, I just added it for completeness sake.

Hi Sven,
I tried changing template name on my setup (based on latest master) and it worked.
Can you please share the output of the following psql command on your engine DB:
SELECT vm_guid, vm_name, entity_type, description from vm_static where vm_name =
'template1'
Can u also search this entity in oVirt using the following:
Template:name = template*
Regards,
Maor

Hi Maor,
it seems you did not test properly.
You need 2 DCs with a template in each datacenter.
rename one of them to match the other.
It will fail, quoting Nir from my Bugzilla entry:
This is how the system works. Changing is nice to
have feature, as it does not effect much the usage of the system.
We have the same issue with cluster names, vm names - most names are >
unique globally.
I also find this annoying, and practically create names with
dc-cluser prefixes to avoid this.
I really don't understand the logic behind making these names
unique on a global level.
There are many easily thought use cases where you want the
same template name in different DCs, now I will have to juggle
with dc-prefixes.
I really hope this gets fixed up for 3.6
Thanks for your fast replies anyway.

I Sven
You are right there is no option to have same template name for different DCs
The reason for that is that both VMs and Templates are stored in vm_static table
We distinguish between VMs/Template according to the entity_type column value.
If you think that this is important please issue a RFE for it.
Thanks
Eli
