Container ID.

--device-add hdd

Adds a virtual hard disk to the Container.

If no other options are specified, the command creates a new unmounted disk with the following parameters:

• name: hdd<N> where <N> is the next available disk index.
• size: 65536 MB
• image location: /vz/private/<CT_ID>/disk-<ID>.hdd.

Note: In the current version of Virtuozzo, only expanding SATA disks can be added to Containers.

--device-set hdd<N>

Modifies the parameters of the virtual hard disk hdd<N>.

Note: For the list of disks, use the prlctl list -i command.

--image <file>

Specifies an image file that will be used to emulate the virtual disk.

• If the specified image does not exist, it is created and used to emulate the virtual hard disk.
• If the specified image exists, it is used to emulate the virtual hard disk.

--size <size>

Specifies the size of the virtual hard disk, in megabytes.

--mnt <path>

Specifies the mount point of the virtual hard disk inside the Container.

A corresponding entry is also added to Container's /etc/fstab file, so the disk is mounted automatically on Container start.

Note: For details on how to enable or disable compaction for a specific disk in the Container, see General Options.

To obtain the backup ID, use the prlctl backup-list -f command.

--disk <disk_name>

Used with --backup-add. The name of the disk in the backup to attach. If a disk is not specified, all disks contained in the backup will be attached.

To obtain the disk name, use the prlctl backup-list -f command.

Deletes a virtual hard disk from the stopped Container.

--detach-only

Removes the virtual disk from the Container configuration but leaves its image file intact.

--destroy-image

Removes the virtual disk from the Container configuration and deletes its image file.

--backup-del <backup_ID>|all
