28 | qm is a script to manage virtual machines with Qemu/Kvm. You can | |
29 | create and destroy virtual machines, and control execution | |
30 | (start/stop/suspend/resume). Besides that, you can use qm to set | |
31 | parameters in the associated config file. It is also possible to | |
32 | create and delete virtual disks. | |
33 | ||
34 | Configuration | |
35 | ------------- | |
36 | ||
37 | All configuration files consists of lines in the form | |
38 | ||
39 | PARAMETER: value | |
40 | ||
41 | Configuration files are stored inside the Proxmox cluster file | |
42 | system, and can be access at '/etc/pve/qemu-server/<VMID>.conf'. | |

50 | Locks | |
51 | ----- | |
52 | ||
53 | Online migrations and backups ('vzdump') set a lock to prevent incompatible | |
54 | concurrent actions on the affected VMs. Sometimes you need to remove such a | |
55 | lock manually (e.g., after a power failure). | |
56 | ||
57 | qm unlock <vmid> | |
58 | ||
59 | Examples | |
60 | -------- | |
61 | ||
62 | Create a new VM with 4 GB IDE disk. | |
63 | ||
64 | qm create 300 -ide0 4 -net0 e1000 -cdrom proxmox-mailgateway_2.1.iso | |
65 | ||
66 | Start the new VM | |
67 | ||
68 | qm start 300 | |
69 | ||
70 | Send a shutdown request, then wait until the VM is stopped. | |
71 | ||
72 | qm shutdown 300 && qm wait 300 | |
73 | ||
74 | Same as above, but only wait for 40 seconds. | |
75 | ||
76 | qm shutdown 300 && qm wait 300 -timeout 40 | |
