VE descriptions
type: item
description: Hi, Ive just started to use OpenVZ and it totally rocks but one thing I would really like is to be able to add a decription to each VE - such that a vzlist might look like this # vzlist VEID NPROC STATUS IP_ADDR HOSTNAME DESCRIPTION 101 13 running 172.30.60.101 server101 Mediawiki box 102 6 running 172.30.60.102 server102 Zenoss Network monitor 103 13 running 172.30.60.103 server103 Webserver Dev box 105 3 running 172.30.60.105 server105 Asterisk How do I ask for it as a feature request? Or did I just do it

description: vzctl set <veid> --name something that would come close to your request, only problem is that --name only accepts one word as a parameter

The description itself can be kept in the VEs confog file and VZLIST would have to be changed a little to read each config file I think it would be really helpfull

description: no, --hostname sets the hostname --name sets another variable the name shows up when you do 'vzlist -n' I agree though, a description setting would be nice too

I think I will use this for the time being. I hope it can contain long words
