how to start VMs from the command shell

[nicolasdiogo]

hi

i have a set of machines that work as a cluster

and i would like to run a command like this:

for i in $( seq 30 39 ) ; do echo "someCommand for VM 10$i" ; done;
someCommand for VM 1030
someCommand for VM 1031
someCommand for VM 1032
someCommand for VM 1033
someCommand for VM 1034
someCommand for VM 1035
someCommand for VM 1036
someCommand for VM 1037
someCommand for VM 1038
someCommand for VM 1039

NOTE: it should be running a command rather then echoing

but i can not find any info on which command to run.

any suggestion?

thanks,


Nicolas

You want to run that command inside the VM? If so, you can use ssh.

for i in $( seq 30 39 ) ; do echo "vzctl exec 10$i YOURCOMMAND" ; done;

what i was trying to say is:

how do i start a virtual machine from ssh from PVE host?

then i can use this command inside my loop.


sorry for badly explaining myself.


thanks

how do i start a virtual machine from ssh from PVE host?

for KVM (see 'man qm'):

# qm start <vmid>

for OpenVZ (see 'man vzctl'):

# vzctl start <vmid>
