qm-resume: Resume a specific virtual machine.
$ qm resume ${vm_id}
try on your machine

The command "qm resume ${vm_id}" is a shell command used to resume the execution of a virtual machine (VM) with the specified identifier, represented by ${vm_id}.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "qm" is the command-line tool used to manage and control the QEMU-KVM virtualization stack. QEMU is an open-source machine emulator and virtualizer, and KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a Linux kernel module that enables hardware virtualization.
  • "resume" is the subcommand of "qm" used to resume a paused or suspended VM.
  • ${vm_id} is a placeholder for the actual identifier of the VM. It can be a number or a unique name assigned to the VM.

When executed, this command instructs QEMU-KVM to resume the execution of the specified VM, allowing it to continue running from its previous paused or suspended state.
