Description

CS restricts 2 VMs from having the same name only if they are in the same network. But in case vm.instancename.flag is set to true, VM name in vCenter will be its VM's CS display name. And vCenter doesn't allow two VMs to have the same name under the same DC which results in the failure of VM start in CS and is not handled correctly.
CS should throw an error message to the user that a VM with the same name already exists.
