Description of problem: RHEVM-SHELL Guide: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.6/html-single/RHEVM_Shell_Guide/index.html In "3.2.2. Show a Resource (show)" the syntax is correct: [RHEVM shell (connected)]# show vm fcadfd5f-9a12-4a1e-bb9b-2b9d5c2e04c3 [RHEVM shell (connected)]# show vm RHEL6-Server but in "1.5. Interacting with the CLI" the syntax is different and doesn't work: [RHEVM shell (connected)]# show vm --name desktop_vms eg. in my test environment: [RHEVM shell (connected)]# list vms id : 09746170-a035-46b4-86dc-e8aeb3c3e1d6 name : testVM id : ddc35fd2-7309-4f7c-8109-eae23727a595 name : testVM2 [RHEVM shell (connected)]# show vm testVM id : 09746170-a035-46b4-86dc-e8aeb3c3e1d6 name : testVM ... ... ...
