23 | ========================= | |

25 | ||
26 | ||
27 | qm is a script to manage virtual machines with Qemu/Kvm. You can | |
28 | create and destroy virtual machines, and control execution | |
29 | (start/stop/suspend/resume). Besides that, you can use qm to set | |
30 | parameters in the associated config file. It is also possible to | |
31 | create and delete virtual disks. | |
32 | ||
33 | Configuration | |
34 | ------------- | |
35 | ||
36 | All configuration files consists of lines in the form | |
37 | ||
38 | PARAMETER: value | |
39 | ||
40 | See 'man vm.conf' for a complete list of options. | |
41 | ||
42 | Configuration files are stored inside the Proxmox configuration file | |
43 | system, and can be access at '/etc/pve/qemu-server/<VMID>.conf'. | |
44 | ||
45 | The default for option `keyboard` is read from | |
46 | '/etc/pve/datacenter.conf'. | |
47 | ||
48 | Locks | |
49 | ----- | |
50 | ||
51 | Online migration and backups ('vzdump') set a lock to prevent | |
52 | unintentional action on such VMs. Sometimes you need remove such lock | |
53 | manually (power failure). | |
54 | ||
55 | qm unlock <vmid> | |
56 | ||
57 | Examples | |
58 | -------- | |
59 | ||
60 | Create a new VM with 4 GB IDE disk. | |
61 | ||
62 | qm create 300 -ide0 4 -net0 e1000 -cdrom proxmox-mailgateway_2.1.iso | |
63 | ||
64 | Start the new VM | |
65 | ||
66 | qm start 300 | |
67 | ||
68 | Send a shutdown request, then wait until the VM is stopped. | |
69 | ||
70 | qm shutdown 300 && qm wait 300 | |
71 | ||
72 | Same as above, but only wait for 40 seconds. | |
73 | ||
74 | qm shutdown 300 && qm wait 300 -timeout 40 | |
