We don't have an API to do this. I'm not even sure that virt technologies generally support this. It seems Xen doesn't.

xm has rename option, without reboot. Is theirs any specific reason why we don't have rename API? On Tue, Mar 4, 2008 at 3:29 AM, Richard W.M. Jones <rjones@redhat.com> wrote:

Right, but not in the manpage.

Not particularly, just waiting for a patch. The QEMU driver looks like it could be easily modified to support changing the name, which is just stored within a memory structure qemud_vm_def.
