The correct names are '_' not '-' so why is the nova-manage output changing them ?

Thanks for the report. This appears to be an intentional difference in behavior. There are two related bits of information associated with an instance, a "hostname" and "display name". What you get back from "nova list" is the display name. What you see from nova-manage is the hostname, which is a somewhat sanitized version of the display name.

It's fairly simple to adjust nova-manage to use the display name (patch attached). However, according to comments in review 3523 (https://review.openstack.org/#change,3523), nova-manage is going away, so it seems fruitless to make the change.

Hopefully this explanation at least makes it more clear why the results differ.

Actually, after the weekly meeting today, it sounds like nova-manage isn't going anywhere for essex, so I'll go ahead and submit this patch and see what happens.

    Use "display_name" in "nova-manage vm list".

    Fixes bug 894807.

    This patch changes the output of "nova-manage vm list" to use the
    display_name for an instance instead of the hostname in the output.
    This makes the output consistent with what you get with "nova list".
