qm-snapshot: Create a snapshot of a specific virtual machine.
$ qm snapshot ${vm_id} ${snapshot_name}
try on your machine
This command is used for creating a snapshot of a virtual machine (VM) in the IBM Q System One quantum computing platform. Here's what each part of the command means:
-
qm snapshot
: This part of the command instructs the system to create a snapshot of a VM. A snapshot is a copy of the VM's state at a specific point in time. It captures the VM's current memory, disk, and device state. -
${vm_id}
: This is a placeholder for the ID of the virtual machine which you want to take a snapshot of. It should be replaced with the actual ID of the VM.${snapshot_name}
: This is a placeholder for the desired name of the snapshot you want to create. It should be replaced with a meaningful name that identifies the snapshot.
So when you run this command, the system will create a snapshot of the specified virtual machine with a given name for future reference or potential restoration purposes.
