Optimal way of renaming VMID consecutively

[billybob]

Over the years, my VM & Containers ID have been become non-consecutive (ie: VMID are 100, 105, 115, 117, etc.). I would like to ideally run a script that would take each of the VM/CT and rename them consecutively. Of course, manual way would be to clone and redeploy each VM/CT but that's cumbersome. Surely there's gotta to be a better way to renumbering the VMIDs. So the question is, is there a good way of renumbering the VM/CT?

Thanks!

Backup everything, erase, restore.

Other than that - dig in into the type of storage used, analyze all the dependencies, devise a method of updating every one of them, including storage rename. Write your own script.
