Introduction
This page lists some important Proxmox VE and Debian command line tools.
Virtual Machines (QEMU/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 (available online) for further info
Container (LXC)
pct list
Backup
vzdump
vzdump - backup utility for virtual machine - see "man vzdump"
Restore
VM Restore
qmrestore - restore QEMU/KVM vzdump backups - see "man qmrestore"
Container Restore
pct restore
Cluster Management
pvecm status
PVE Cluster Manager - see "man pvecm" for details.
Software version check
pveversion -v
Proxmox VE version info - Print version information for Proxmox VE packages.
LVM
Most of the commands in LVM are very similar to each other. Each valid command is preceded by one of the following:
- Physical Volume = pv
- Volume Group = vg
- Logical Volume = lv
Debian Appliance Builder
dab
Other useful tools
pveperf
Simple host performance test - see "man pveperf".
Note: this command may require root privileges (or sudo) to run, otherwise you get an error after "HD SIZE" value, like: <<sh: /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches: Permission denied unable to open HD at /usr/bin/pveperf line 149.>>
Example output
CPU BOGOMIPS: 26341.80 REGEX/SECOND: 1554770 HD SIZE: 94.49 GB (/dev/mapper/pve-root) BUFFERED READS: 49.83 MB/sec AVERAGE SEEK TIME: 14.16 ms FSYNCS/SECOND: 1060.47 DNS EXT: 314.58 ms DNS INT: 236.94 ms (mypve.com)
pvesubscription
For managing a node's subscription key - see "man pvesubscription"
