qm set <vmid> --boot order=

[m3023]

Hi,
I am running into this issue and i am not sure whether i am reading it wrong or there is a problem somewhere else.

Based on this doco [1], there is this command available:

--boot [[legacy=]<[acdn]{1,4}>] [,order=<device[;device...]>]

My understanding is that command should have

--boot order=ide2;scsi0

for example. Am I wrong?

Because doing so, I get this:

root@pxmx-01:~# qm set 123 --boot order=ide2,scsi0
400 Parameter verification failed.
boot: invalid format - format error
boot.legacy: value does not match the regex pattern

Am I missing something?

I did not test/verify anything, but:
From the documentation:
--boot order=ide2;scsi0 vs.
--boot order=ide2,scsi0
from your actual attempt.
Specifically: ; vs. ,

I tested both. The result is more or less the same (failing). This is why I ended up here because I am hitting a wall.

root@pxmx-01:~# qm set 123 --boot order=ide2;scsi1
update VM 123: -boot order=ide2
-bash: scsi1: command not found
root@pxmx-01:~# qm set 123 --boot order=ide2,scsi1
400 Parameter verification failed.
boot: invalid format - format error
boot.legacy: value does not match the regex pattern

--boot [[legacy=]<[acdn]{1,4}>] [,order=<device[;device...]>]

This suggests trying qm set 123 --boot ',order=ide2;scsi' and that appears to be working here. The starting comma is not required (in contrast to the documentation) but the (single or double) quotes are necessary because of the semi-colon.

Indeed. You are right. All sorted then. Thank you.
