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 Razz

vzctl set <veid> --name something

that would come close to your request, only problem is that --name only accepts one word as a parameter

Well that sets the hostname but doenst allow a short description - I *think* it shouldnt be too hard to code. 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
