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:

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.
