qm-unlock: Unlock a specific virtual machine.
$ qm unlock ${vm_id}
try on your machine

This command is written in a Unix shell scripting language. It uses the "qm" command to unlock a virtual machine with a specific ID.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "qm" is a command-line tool used to manage virtual machines in the Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) system. PVE is an open-source virtualization platform that allows you to run multiple virtual machines on a single physical server.

  • "unlock" is an argument or sub-command of the "qm" command. It is used to unlock a virtual machine that is currently locked.

  • "${vm_id}" is a placeholder or variable that should be replaced with the actual ID of the virtual machine you want to unlock. The "$" sign indicates that it is a variable, and the braces "{}" are used to enclose the variable name. You need to replace "${vm_id}" with the valid ID, such as "100" or "vm101".

In summary, when the command is executed, it will use the "qm" tool to unlock the virtual machine identified by the value assigned to the "${vm_id}" variable.
