qm suspend

Suspends a virtual machine (VM) in the Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE). Use --skiplock and --skiplockstorage flags with caution, as they may lead to data corruption in certain situations. More information: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/qm.1.html.

• Suspend a virtual machine by ID:

qm suspend {{vm_id}} {{integer}}

• Skip the lock check when suspending the VM:

qm suspend {{vm_id}} {{integer}} --skiplock

• Skip the lock check for storage when suspending the VM:

qm suspend {{vm_id}} {{integer}} --skiplockstorage
