SYNOPSIS
qm set [OPTIONS] vmid
DESCRIPTION
qm set modifies the configuration of a QEMU/KVM virtual machine in Proxmox VE. Changes may require a VM restart to take effect. This command can configure CPU, memory, storage, network, and hardware passthrough options.
PARAMETERS
vmid
The numeric ID of the virtual machine--name string
Set the VM name displayed in the GUI--autostart boolean
Start VM automatically on host boot--cores number
Number of CPU cores--memory megabytes
Amount of RAM in MB--netN config
Network device configuration (N=0-31)--scsiN config
SCSI disk configuration--hostpciN config
PCI device passthrough configuration--delete list
Comma-separated list of settings to delete
CAVEATS
Some changes require stopping the VM first. Hardware passthrough requires IOMMU support. Changes that affect running VMs may be marked as pending until restart.
HISTORY
qm set is part of the Proxmox VE virtualization platform for managing QEMU/KVM virtual machines.
