[SOLVED] Container locked after creation was interrupted

[ykrons]

Hi,

I'm using Proxmox 7.1.
I have launched cloning of an existing container and do it again in order to have 3 identical containers.
The second try has failed because the container was locked during cloning, however it lets an "unintialized" container that is locked with "Config locked (create)".

How can I unlock that zombie container?

qm unlock <vmid> tells me that "Configuratoin file xxx.conf does not exist"

Hi,

for containers you should use the pct command as qm is intended for virtual machines only. pct is very similar to qm and should generally accept the same arguments with some exceptions.

You can find out more about pct and qm in the manual [1,2].

Perfect, exactly what I need!
