qm-migrate: Override the current I/O bandwidth limit with 10 KiB/s.
$ qm migrate ${vm_id} ${target} --bwlimit 10
try on your machine

This command is related to the migration of a virtual machine (VM).

Explanation of the command:

  • "qm migrate": This part of the command indicates that we are instructing the "qm" command to perform a migration operation.
  • "${vm_id}": This variable should be replaced with the actual ID of the virtual machine that needs to be migrated. The VM ID uniquely identifies the virtual machine.
  • "${target}": Similarly, this variable should be replaced with the target location or destination where the virtual machine is being migrated to. It could be an IP address or hostname of the target machine.
  • "--bwlimit 10": This option sets the bandwidth limit for the migration process to 10 Mbps (megabits per second). It restricts the network bandwidth used by the migration process to prevent extensive resource usage and potential network congestion.

Overall, the command is instructing the "qm" command to initiate a migration process of a specific virtual machine (${vm_id}) to a target location (${target}), while limiting the bandwidth of the migration process to 10 Mbps (--bwlimit 10).
