  6. For the VM Name, enter a user-friendly label for the VM. Abiquo will use this name when creating the VM in the provider. 

    • If the provider does not support duplicate names, for example vCenter, Abiquo will add a number in brackets after the name. For example, if you another user already created two VMs from a template named TEMPLATE, then your next two VMs will be named TEMPLATE (2) and TEMPLATE (3). If you later try to rename the VM to a name that already exists in the provider, then Abiquo will return the hypervisor error.
