Running into an oddity when changing the name attribute of a VM. When
the name attribute is changed via the either the WebAdmin or PUP it does
not update the <Name> element within the VM OVF. The database table
entry: vm_static --> VM_name does however get updated.
Upon trying to start the VM or restart it in the case of updating the
name while it was in a running state the below will occur:
=20
VM <vmname> is down. Exit message operation failed: domain '<vmname> '
already exists with uuid <UUID>.
VM <vmname> was started by <username> (Host: <ovirtnodehostname>).
=20
This can be worked around however by simply hand-editing the VM OVF and
changing the <Name> element to the desired name.
=20
This is observed with the current released version of the ovirt-engine
(ovirt-engine-3.0.0_0001-1.6)
=20
