Hey Guys,

I'm new to proxmox, i've inherited a setup and haven't played with VMs at all before. I'm trying to pct enter into a vm. But pct list isn't showing it.
When I view the vms in the web admin, I can see it there. (screenshot below) but pct list only shows 100 and 104. I can see the icons next to those are different but not sure what that means.

How can I pct enter into those other ones?

I've also tried right clicking on the vms and going into the console through the webadmin, but I don't know the credentials to get in that way.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Antony

"pct" - (man pct) Tool to manage Linux Containers (LXC) on Proxmox VE
"qm" -- Qemu/KVM Virtual Machine Manager

The 101-103 are not Containers, they are Virtual Machines. There is no equivalent "enter" option for VM. You need to know the credentials to access it at a very basic level.

Its possible to gain access to disk/filesystems without credentials (if they are not encrypted) but it requires an advanced understanding of Virtual Machine components, storage used and Linux in general.
