OpenStack Compute (nova)

Can we rename a instance_name for VM with our own name?

Asked by sasikiran

When we boot a vm it is mapped with the instance_name i.e., instance-00000029 , can't we rename this with our own name,
so that this would appear in kvm or esx as the display_name

Sorry, Openstack doesn't support the action.
Every instance in openstack has it's own name, but not written in libvirt. The name is just shown in nova.

Can you help with this problem?
