qm-migrate: Use online/live migration if a virtual machine is running.

$ qm migrate ${vm_id} ${target} --online true

try on your machine

This command is used to migrate a virtual machine (VM) from its current location to a desired target location using IBM PowerVM's qm utility. It follows the format:

qm migrate ${vm_id} ${target} --online true

${vm_id}: It is a placeholder for the ID or name of the virtual machine that needs to be migrated. You need to specify the actual ID or name in its place.
${target}: It represents the target location or destination where the VM will be migrated. You have to provide the actual target location in its place.
--online true: This flag indicates that the virtual machine migration should be performed while the VM is still running and online. It means the migration process should not require the VM to be shut down.

Overall, this command instructs the qm utility to migrate a specific virtual machine to a target location while keeping the VM online during the migration process.
