How to use the command qm nbdstop (with examples)

The qm nbdstop command is used to stop an embedded NBD (Network Block Device) server. NBD is a protocol that allows a client to access and modify a remote block device over a network. The qm nbdstop command is specifically used in Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) to stop the NBD server for a specific virtual machine.

Use case 1: Stop embedded NBD server

Code:

qm nbdstop VM_ID

Motivation: The motivation for using this example is to stop the embedded NBD server for a specific virtual machine. This can be useful if you no longer need to access or modify the remote block device associated with the virtual machine.

Explanation: The qm nbdstop command requires the VM_ID argument, which specifies the ID of the virtual machine for which you want to stop the NBD server.

Example output:

Stopping NBD server for VM_ID...
NBD server stopped successfully.
