Virtual Machine Management

The prlctl utility is used to perform management tasks on virtual machines. The utility supports a full range of tasks from creating and administering virtual machines to getting statistics and generating problem reports.

The general syntax is as follows:

prlctl command <vm_ ID | vm_name> [ options ] [ -v , -- verbose number ]

The parameters are:

• command : one of the available commands.
• vm_ID | vm_name : ID or name of the target virtual machine.
• options : command options.
• -v , --verbose number : Show verbose output. The greater the number, the more verbose output will be produced.

The subsequent sections describe the available prlctl commands grouped by functionality.
