prlctl Parameters 14
--template
Tells the prlctl clone command to create a template instead
of creating a virtual machine. You can use then this template as the
basis for creating new virtual machines.
To deploy a template, use the prlctl create command.
--location <path>
The location where all configuration files of the cloned virtual
machine are to be stored. If the --location parameter is
omitted, the VM files will be placed to the default folder for virtual
machines.
The default folder on computers with Parallels Server installed:
 on servers running the MAC operating system (OS):
/Users/Shared/Parallels;
 on servers running the Windows OS: C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Documents\Parallels;
 on servers running the Linux OS:
/Users/Shared/Parallels.
The default folder on computers with Parallels Desktop installed:
 /Users/<User_name>/Documents/Parallels
-v, --verbose number
Sets the verbosity level for the prlctl clone command. The
greater number you specify, the more verbose output prlctl
clone will produce.
prlctl list
The prlctl list command is used to display a list of virtual machines currently registered
in Parallels Server or Parallels Desktop together with additional information about these virtual
machines. It has the following syntax:
prlctl list [-a, --all] [-t, --template] [--no-header]
[-o, --output name[,name...]] [-s, --sort name|-name]
[-v, --verbose number]
prlctl list --info [<ID|name>] [-v, --verbose number]
The options that can be used with this command are explained in the table below:
Parameter Name Description
-a, --all
Lists all virtual machines currently registered in Parallels Server or
Parallels Desktop.
-t, --template
Lists the templates that currently exist on Parallels Server or Parallels
Desktop and that can be used as the basis for the virtual machine
creation. In this case, a template denotes a folder containing one or more
VM configuration files.
To deploy a template, use the prlctl create command.
--no-header
Do not display column headers.
-i, --info
Displays detailed information on all virtual machines currently registered
in Parallels Server or Parallels Desktop. You can specify the virtual
machine ID or its name to view detailed information about this VM only.
