qm-mtunnel: Command used by `qmigrate` during data migration from a VM to another host.
$ qm mtunnel
try on your machine

The command "qm mtunnel" is used in networking and server administration for creating a secure tunnel between two systems using the QEMU Machine Protocol (QM).

QM is a communication protocol used by QEMU, an open-source emulator and virtualization software, to manage virtual machines and their associated resources.

The "mtunnel" sub-command specifically deals with tunneling, which involves encapsulating data traffic from one system into packets that can be transmitted over another network or connection. This is typically done to provide secure communication between two systems, especially when they are not directly connected or when the communication needs to traverse untrusted networks.

When you execute the "qm mtunnel" command, you are essentially instructing QEMU to establish a secure tunnel between two systems using the QM protocol. The exact configuration and parameters required for the command may vary depending on your specific setup and networking requirements.
