qm-resume: Resume a specific virtual machine ignoring locks (requires root).

$ sudo qm resume ${vm_id} --skiplock true

try on your machine

This command is used to resume a virtual machine (VM) using the Proxmox VE hypervisor. Here's the breakdown of the command:

sudo: The command is run with root privileges.
qm: It is the Proxmox VE's command-line tool used to manage virtual machines.
resume: The resume command is used to start a suspended or paused VM and bring it back to an active state.
${vm_id}: This is a placeholder for the actual ID of the virtual machine. Replace ${vm_id} with the specific ID of the virtual machine you want to resume.
--skiplock true: This option, when set to true, skips the virtual machine lock check. By default, Proxmox VE checks if the VM is locked by another process before resuming it. By specifying --skiplock true, the check is skipped during the resume process.

Overall, this command is executed with root privileges to resume a specified virtual machine using the Proxmox VE hypervisor, and it bypasses the lock check during the resume process.
