Description Barak Dagan 2012-12-26 12:33:43 UTC 
Description of problem:
When there is use of '*' as part of object name, the first object is manipulated, instead of all them, for example, if I have 3 vms: myVm-0, myVm-1, myVm-2 and I want to start all of them: action vm myVm-* start, only myVm-0 will start.

Comment 1 Michael Pasternak 2012-12-26 12:47:40 UTC 
this kind of behaviour is not supported, action invoked on a single object and
not on the list of objects,

providing wildcard name, will fetch first object answering on this constraint,
what is by-design.
Comment 2 Oded Ramraz 2012-12-26 13:19:50 UTC 
I still think that this behavior is confusing , especially for someone who is familiar with BE search engine where "*" has different meaning. 
I would either perform the operation on multiple objects ( and turning this issue to be essential RFE ) or failing the action with proper error / invalid syntax.
