Virtual Machine Naming Convention
For more details about the virtual machine name, see
Virtual Machine Image Naming Convention
The main volume of virtual machine, which contains the virtual machine image should follow the pattern:
<vm-name>.<image-format>
Example:
gp.qcow2
Storage Volume Naming Convention
If the volume will be used for raw storage under a filesystem, and it is NOT going to be a virtual machine image, the volume name should follow the pattern:
<vm-name|generic-name>-<purpose>.<image-format>
Example:
node1-docker.raw support-nfs.raw
Disk Image Snapshot Tag Naming Conventions
Use a name that describe the state the snapshot is intended to preserve, and replace space with '_'. Example:
before_OpenShift_installation
