Create a virtual machineSyntax 1 prlctl create <vm_name> --ostemplate <name> Creates a virtual machine from the specified virtual machine template. The --ostemplate <name> parameter specifies the source template name. To obtain the list of available templates, use the prlctl list -t command. Optional parameters --dst A path to the directory where the virtual machine files will be stored. If omitted, the default location will be used. --changesid Change the Windows security identifier (SID) of a Windows-based virtual machine template. It requires Parallels Tools to be installed in the template. If omitted, the original SID will be used. Syntax 2 prlctl create <vm_name> [-o,--ostype <name | list>] Creates a virtual machine and optimizes it for the OS type specified in the --ostype option. If the --ostype parameter is omitted, the virtual machine is optimized for Windows 10 by default.
