qm-start: Specify the QEMU machine type (i.e. the CPU to emulate).
$ qm start ${100} --machine ${q35}
try on your machine

This command is used to start a virtual machine using the QEMU (Quick EMUlator) hypervisor. Here is an explanation of the different parts of the command:

  • qm refers to the QEMU Machine Manager, a command-line tool used for managing virtual machines.
  • start is the command to start a virtual machine.
  • ${100} is a placeholder or variable for the virtual machine ID. This can be replaced with the actual ID of the virtual machine you want to start. For example, if the ID of the virtual machine is 100, it will be substituted as 100.
  • --machine is an option to specify the machine type. ${q35} is another variable or placeholder representing the Q35 machine type. The actual machine type can be substituted in place of this variable. For example, q35 could be replaced with another machine type like pc-i440fx-3.1.

Overall, this command will start a virtual machine with the specified ID and machine type using the QEMU Machine Manager.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
