    root@PROXMOX01:/var/lib/vz/images# ls
    101  102  201  902
    root@PROXMOX01:/var/lib/vz/images# mv 902 202
    root@PROXMOX01:/var/lib/vz/images# cd 202
    root@PROXMOX01:/var/lib/vz/images/202# ls
    vm-902-disk-1.qcow2
    root@PROXMOX01:/var/lib/vz/images/202# mv vm-902-disk-1.qcow2 vm-202-disk-1.qcow2
    root@PROXMOX01:/var/lib/vz/images/202# ls
    vm-202-disk-1.qcow2
  4. Rename configuration filename
    root@PROXMOX01:/etc/pve/nodes/PROXMOX01# cd /etc/pve/nodes/PROXMOX01/qemu-server/
    root@PROXMOX01:/etc/pve/nodes/PROXMOX01/qemu-server# ls
    101.conf  102.conf  201.conf  902.conf
    root@PROXMOX01:/etc/pve/nodes/PROXMOX01/qemu-server# mv 902.conf 202.conf
    root@PROXMOX01:/etc/pve/nodes/PROXMOX01/qemu-server#
  5. Edit configuration filename
    root@PROXMOX01:/etc/pve/nodes/PROXMOX01/qemu-server# vi 202.conf

    202.conf :

    boot: cdn
    bootdisk: ide0
    cores: 1
    ide0: local:902/vm-902-disk-1.qcow2,size=10G
    ide2: local:iso/CentOS-6.4-x86_64-minimal.iso,media=cdrom,size=350546K
    memory: 1024
    name: FMIVDLWEB02
