This command is using the "qm" tool to create a copy of a virtual machine (VM) in a Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) system.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "qm": This is the command-line tool used to manage virtual machines in Proxmox.
- "copy": This is the subcommand used to create a copy of a virtual machine.
- "${vm_id}": This is a placeholder for the ID of the existing VM that you want to copy. You would replace "${vm_id}" with the actual ID (e.g., "100").
- "${new_vm_id}": This is a placeholder for the ID of the new VM that will be created as a copy. You would replace "${new_vm_id}" with the desired ID for the new VM.
- "--name ${name}": This is an additional option to provide a name for the new VM. You would replace "${name}" with the desired name for the new VM.
In summary, this command creates a copy of an existing virtual machine with a new ID and a specified name.
