.. program:: qvm-start :program:`qvm-start` -- start a domain ====================================== .. warning:: This page was autogenerated from command-line parser. It shouldn't be 1:1 conversion, because it would add little value. Please revise it and add more descriptive help, which normally won't fit in standard ``--help`` option. After rewrite, please remove this admonition. Synopsis -------- :command:`qvm-start` [-h] [options] *VMNAME* Options ------- .. option:: --help, -h Show help message and exit. .. option:: --verbose, -v Increase verbosity. .. option:: --quiet, -q Decrease verbosity. .. option:: --skip-if-running Do not fail if the qube is already runnning .. option:: --all perform the action on all qubes .. option:: --exclude exclude the qube from --all .. option:: --drive=DRIVE Temporarily attach specified drive as CD/DVD or hard disk (can be specified with prefix "hd:" or "cdrom:", default is cdrom). The syntax for the device itself is "qube_name:device_name", meaning *device_name* served by *qube_name*. See `qvm-block` output for a list of available devices. Additionally, "qube_name:path" syntax can be used. This will setup loop device inside *qube_name*, pointing at *path*, and will use it as device. You need to clean up that loop device yourself, but it will also cleanup itself at next qube restart. This syntax is available only when calling this tool from dom0. .. option:: --hddisk=DRIVE Temporarily attach specified drive as hard disk. This is equivalent with `--drive=hd:DRIVE`. .. option:: --cdrom=DRIVE Temporarily attach specified drive as CD/DVD. This is equivalent with `--drive=cdrom:DRIVE`. .. option:: --install-windows-tools Temporarily attach Windows tools CDROM to the domain. This is equivalent with `--cdrom=dom0:/usr/lib/qubes/qubes-windows-tools.iso`.
