Virtual Machine Naming Convention

For more details about the virtual machine name, see Template:KVM Virtual Machine XML Configuration Example.

Virtual Machine Image Naming Convention

The ... that will hold a virtual machine image should follow the pattern:

<vm-name>.img

Example:

node1.img

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>.storage

Example:

node1-docker.storage
