I restored a VM with a temporary name and want to rename

Hi,

I restored a VM with a temporary name and now I need to rename it to its original name.

What is the correct procedure for which I became the same as the original name?

- VM name, name inside the folders inside the datastore and name of the files (.vmdk, .vmx and etc.)

Thank you.

if you right click / rename from GUI and then do a storage vMotion it should update all the VM files to show the updated name.
