History

#1 Updated by Ricardo Duarte about 8 years ago

Expand $VMID variable when instantiating templates.

Use case:

1. User creates a template with NAME = one-$VMID
2. The resulting instance (ex.: 100) will have name = one-100

When NAME is not specified the VM already gets the name one-<vmid>. Could you give use some other example? Is there something that should be dependant on the VMID?

It was not the best example (but at least on 4.0 beta it would fall-back to template name, and not one-VMID).
Say I want to call my instances i-$VMID (actually that is what I'm doing, but had to patch the code).
