VM name

Good morning.  Yes the name should be updated as we track the VMs by GUID.

Yes the name in the subclient should update on next discovery, but as @Orazan said - we track it by its UUID so it wont be considered a new VM. Backups already done will have the old name, new backups will have the new name. If you discover content in your subclient explicitly by using a name condition or guest DNS condition then backups could fail since its bypassing automatic discovery - but that is not a common thing to do.

Thanks.

So all 3 attributes will be changed  - Client name, Hostname & Display name ?

@Damian Andre  - “Backups already done will have the old name, new backups will have the new name”  -  how is it possible to distinguish once the name is changed on the CV console ?

@TNO ,

Correct, also, please check our KB to avoid duplicates:
