#1 Updated by Javi Fontan almost 4 years ago

  • Category set to Core & System
  • Target version deleted (Release 5.2.1)

A prefix must be added to all the tags in metadata.

#2 Updated by Stefan Kooman over 3 years ago

As discussed with Javi Fontan and Anton Todorov during the ONE EU CONF 2017: There is a clear need for metadata support in libvirt XML's created by OpenNebula. Especially the "NAME" of the virtual machine should be present in the libvirt XML. External tools (for example to do Disaster Recovery) can than make a mapping between ONE-ID and Name. Libvirt allows for Metadata to be added: https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsMetadata

A mapping prooposal:

OpenNebula VM "NAME" => libvirt Title
OpenNebula VM Description => libvirt Description
OpenNebula VM Metadata => libvirt Metadata
