Chaning VM ssh name

[Makrand]

Hi All,

Is there any way I can change the config name of VM....where one do vagrant ssh <VM_Name>?

I can change the hostname & VM name (displayed on VBOX) by editing and doing "vagrant reload". But if I do try to change name in config.vm.define, it just try to recreate the VM.

Here is vagrant file - 

(1..NodeCount).each do |i|
    config.vm.define "ubuntuvm0#{i}" do |node|
      node.vm.box = "ubuntu/bionic64"
      node.vm.hostname = "ubu18-#{i}"
      node.vm.network "private_network", ip: "10.0.0.10#{i}"
      node.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
        v.name = "ubu18-#{i}"
        v.memory = 1024
        v.cpus = 1

If I change it to something like ubu18-#{i}, reload fails and up just try to create new VM.

makrand@mint-gl63:~/lab/vagrant/vagrantfiles/ubuntu18$ vagrant reload
==> ubu18-1: VM not created. Moving on...
==> ubu18-2: VM not created. Moving on...
==> ubu18-3: VM not created. Moving on...
makrand@mint-gl63:~/lab/vagrant/vagrantfiles/ubuntu18$ vi Vagrantfile
makrand@mint-gl63:~/lab/vagrant/vagrantfiles/ubuntu18$ vagrant up

Hi there,

Unfortunately it isn't possible to rename a running VM. I'd recommend destroying the machines with the old names, renaming the machines in your Vagrantfile, and then bringing up new machines with the new names.

Cheers,

Jeff
