Kimchi naming restrictions

Rodrigo Trujillo edited this page Apr 2, 2015 · 2 revisions

Due to restriction in Libvirt, Kimchi cannot accept all characters in the names of the entities. This is the list characteres not accepted currently:

  • Guest

  • "slashes" (/) are not allowed in the name

  • Template

  • "slashes" (/) are not allowed in the name

  • Storage Pools

  • "slashes" (/) are not allowed in the name

  • Network

  • "slashes" (/) are not allowed in the name

  • 'quotes' (") are not allowed in the name


These restrictions happen because Libvirt creates files with the names provided. For network, the quotes restriction is related to a restriction in 'dnsmasq' program.
