QM and PCT commands globally?

[flames]

Hello,
there are many useful command linde tools, that we would like to use for automation in custom scripts, but all "qm" or "pct" commands for VMs and CTs are node dependent in a cluster and deliver a return only when the subject VM/CT is on the node, where the command is executed...
Are there some global commands, that would i.e. return the vm name or ct hostname from any node, even not the one, the command actually executed from?
Thanks in Advance

You can get all that via the API. Use the API Viewer to see all possible commands. Use pvesh to easily access the API.
You can get a list of VMs for a node called "pveA" using the following command

root@pveA:~# pvesh get nodes/pveA/qemu

With pvesh it is possible to replace "pveA" with the name of any other node (for example, pveB) in your cluster.

root@pveA:~# pvesh get nodes/pveB/qemu

It is often useful to use jq. For example, to get all the VM names that you wanted

root@pveA:~# apt install jq
root@pveA:~# pvesh get nodes/pveC/qemu --output-format=json | jq '.[].name'
"Copy-of-VM-pve6"
"Copy-of-VM-Copy-of-VM-pve6"
"pve"

To get container names

root@pveA:~# pvesh get nodes/pveA/lxc

and to get nodes in your cluster

root@pveA:~# pvesh get nodes
