- Give the virtual machine a name and automatically start the machine after creation:
`qm {{[cr|create]}} {{100}} --name {{vm_name}} --start`
- Give a virtual machine specified amount of memory and CPUs:
`qm {{[cr|create]}} {{100}} --memory {{8192}} --cores {{4}}`
- Specify the type of operating system on the machine:
`qm {{[cr|create]}} {{100}} --ostype {{win10}}`
- Replace an existing machine (requires archiving it):
`qm {{[cr|create]}} {{100}} --archive {{path/to/backup_file.tar}} --force 1`
- Specify a script that is executed automatically depending on the state of the virtual machine:
`qm {{[cr|create]}} {{100}} --hookscript {{path/to/script.pl}}`
- Specify the install media:
`qm {{[cr|create]}} {{100}} --cdrom {{local:iso/install-media.iso}}`
