qm-reset

Reset a virtual machine

$ qm reset 100

$ qm reset --skiplock true 100

qm reset [options] vmid

qm reset performs a hard reset on a virtual machine, equivalent to pressing the reset button on physical hardware. This immediately restarts the VM without graceful shutdown.
Use this when the guest OS is unresponsive and a graceful reboot is not possible.

--skiplock true|false

Ignore locks and force reset (root only)

Hard reset may cause data loss in the guest if filesystems are not properly synchronized. The skiplock option requires root privileges.
