Is there a way to rename the CVM Container without rebuilding the container? The vendor who recently re-installed the Nutanix Block didn't follow the directions and named the container incorrectly.
The container has 4 Virtual Servers running on them and I would like to preserve these systems without the need of rebuilding them.
Could I place each VM in the Local NTNX-local-ds (SSD) datestore since the 50GB available is larger than each VM?
Then Destroy the Container and Recreate it?
Thanks,David

You could build a second container with the correct naming, mount it to the hosts and then do a storage vmotion to the second container. After all the VMs are moved you then delete the original container when its unmounted. Definitely stay away from the local datastore.
I would do the storage vmotion's in the off-hours though. Our early experience with storage vmotions between data storage was that it caused increased latency to all the vm's in the cluster.
