      Requesting the ability for choosing a custom name for the network and disks during migration for VM's.  Currently migrations end up with 'net-0' or 'vol-1' and cannot be modified. A newly created vm typically allows for you to name these.

       

      In the customers words: 
      We would like to open a feature request to enable MTV to change these default names to something we can define in automation. As for business case:

      The default naming scheme MTV uses for disks and network adapters makes it very difficult teams to identify the proper resource when performing operations. For example, in the case of disks, there is no way to relate a specific disk in the yaml/console to its corresponding mapping within the OS. We have addressed this with new provisions in OCPV by using disk names that indicate the mount point/drive letter. Additionally, for new VM deployments on OCPV we have an established naming scheme for these items and would like migrated VM to align with that."

      We know you can rename the disk name within the yaml after the fact, but you cannot rename a network device.
