== OpenVZ specific ==
 
=== vzps ===
This utility program can be run on the Node just as the standard Linux ps. For information on the ps utility please consult the corresponding man page, vzps provides certain additional functionality related to monitoring separate Containers running on the Node.
 
The vzps utility has the following functionality added:
 
* The -E CT_ID command line switch can be used to show only the processes running inside the Container with the specified ID.
 
=== pvectl ===
 
pvectl - vzctl wrapper to manage OpenVZ containers - see "man pvectl"
 
=== vzctl ===
 
vzctl - utility to control an OpenVZ container - see "man vzctl"
 
=== vztop ===
This utility program can be run on the Node just as the standard Linux top . For information on the top utility please consult the corresponding man page, vztop provides certain additional functionality related to monitoring separate Containers running on the Node.
 
The vztop utility has the following functionality added:
 
* The -E CT_ID command line switch can be used to show only the processes running inside the Container with the ID specified. If -1 is specified as CT_ID, the processes of all running Containers are displayed.
* The e interactive command (the key pressed while top is running) can be used to show/hide the CTID column, which displays the Container where a particular process is running (0 stands for the Hardware Node itself).
* The E interactive command can be used to select another Container the processes of which are to be shown. If -1 is specified, the processes of all running Containers are displayed.
 
vztop - display top CPU processes

Introduction

This page lists some important Proxmox VE 3x and Debian command line tools.

KVM specific

qm

To view a list of KVMs: 

qm list

      VMID NAME                 STATUS     MEM(MB)    BOOTDISK(GB) PID
       100 alpha001             running    2048               8.00 5858
       101 WINXP002             running    1024              32.00 6177
       102 Win2K                running    2048              32.00 113893
       105 axe002               running    16384            100.00 279613

To see how much memory your machine 101 has: 

qm config 101 | grep ^memory

memory: 2048

see "man qm" for further info

OpenVZ specific

vzps

This utility program can be run on the Node just as the standard Linux ps. For information on the ps utility please consult the corresponding man page, vzps provides certain additional functionality related to monitoring separate Containers running on the Node.

The vzps utility has the following functionality added:

  • The -E CT_ID command line switch can be used to show only the processes running inside the Container with the specified ID.

pvectl

pvectl - vzctl wrapper to manage OpenVZ containers - see "man pvectl"

vzctl

vzctl - utility to control an OpenVZ container - see "man vzctl"

vztop

This utility program can be run on the Node just as the standard Linux top . For information on the top utility please consult the corresponding man page, vztop provides certain additional functionality related to monitoring separate Containers running on the Node.

The vztop utility has the following functionality added:

  • The -E CT_ID command line switch can be used to show only the processes running inside the Container with the ID specified. If -1 is specified as CT_ID, the processes of all running Containers are displayed.
  • The e interactive command (the key pressed while top is running) can be used to show/hide the CTID column, which displays the Container where a particular process is running (0 stands for the Hardware Node itself).
  • The E interactive command can be used to select another Container the processes of which are to be shown. If -1 is specified, the processes of all running Containers are displayed.

vztop - display top CPU processes
