qm-migrate: Allow migration of virtual machines using local devices (root only).
$ qm migrate ${vm_id} ${target} --force true
try on your machine

This command is likely used in the context of a system using the "qm" tool, which is a command-line interface for managing virtual machines (VMs) in a Proxmox VE environment.

The command is used to migrate a specific VM with the given ${vm_id} to the specified ${target} destination.

Let's break down the command:

  • "qm migrate" indicates that you want to initiate a migration of a VM.
  • ${vm_id} is a placeholder for the ID of the VM you want to migrate. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual ID of the VM.
  • ${target} is a placeholder for the target destination where you want to migrate the VM. You should replace this placeholder with the actual target destination.
  • "--force true" is an option passed to the "qm migrate" command. It specifies that the migration should be forced, even if it might cause some issues. The value "true" indicates that the migration should proceed regardless of any potential problems.

Overall, this command initiates a migration process for a specific VM to a specified target, and the "--force true" option ensures that the migration proceeds even if there are any obstacles.
