Re: [libvirt] Valid characters in domain names?
I would like to associate this discussion with a bug I've submitted to
Ubuntu's Launchpad...
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/672948
Inconsistent XML config checks for domains with space in the name
1) http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsMetadata states:
"This name should consist only of alpha-numeric characters".
2) /usr/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rng:
<element name="name">
<ref name="domainName"/>
</element>
<define name="domainName">
<data type="string">
<param name="pattern">[A-Za-z0-9_\.\+\-&:/]+</param>
</data>
</define>
3) Virsh accepts <name> with spaces, but then during a vm start some
misguiding output is generated. It says aa_change_profile() fails. Virsh
doesn't check the config with the schema as well.
