What is the safest way / steps to rename a wm in proxmox 2?

go to "Option" and click edit to rename (or just double click on the name).

I could not find it in menus. Now it is ok.Thanks

Actually, I meant to change ID not name. How can I do that?

 

[tom]

rename all corresponding dir/files in /etc/pve/... and also the virtual disk images (wherever you stored them).

but test with a test VM first before touching your real data.

I've just checked and it's not in options anymore. I go to VM -> options -> edit what field?

The first field is called Name. It's just above Start at boot.

That's not a VM, that is a container. For containers, it's under DNS, Hostname.
