Description

have set vm.instancename.flag to YES, restarted the management server

-> started a new instance in my KVM zone with or without any display name => no change on instance name on hypervisor.

-> started a new instance in my vCenter zone with a display name madrid. Instance name on ESXi is just madrid and not i-xx-xxxx-madrid.

Regards
JF
