This command is using the "virsh" command-line tool to remove a virtual machine configuration file and any associated storage volumes. Here is the breakdown of the command:
- "virsh": The command-line tool for managing virtual machines using the libvirt API.
- "undefine": The subcommand used to remove a virtual machine configuration.
- "--domain ${vm_name}": Specifies the domain (virtual machine) to be undefined. The "${vm_name}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the virtual machine.
- "--storage ${sda,path-to-source}": Specifies a storage volume associated with the virtual machine to be undefined. "${sda,path-to-source}" is also a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual storage volume identifier or path to the storage volume source.
Overall, this command is removing the configuration and storage volumes of a virtual machine, ensuring it is no longer defined or accessible by the hypervisor.
