Virtual Machine Naming Convention
For more details about the virtual machine name, see
Virtual Machine Image Naming Convention
The ... that will hold a virtual machine image should follow the pattern:
<vm-name>.<image-format>
Example:
node1.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>.storage
Example:
node1-docker.storage
