pve_node_startall
Start all or filtered virtual machines and containers on a Proxmox VE node. Use dry-run to plan before confirming execution.
Instructions
MUTATION: start all (or filtered) guests on a PVE node.
RISK_MEDIUM. Reversible — the inverse of pve_node_stopall. For a single guest instead of the whole node use pve_guest_power. vms = optional CSV of VMIDs to filter the scope. Dry-run by default (returns a PLAN); confirm=True executes (POST, Smoke-confirm on the vms param format) and returns {"status": "submitted", "result": <task UPID | None>}.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| vms | No | Optional comma-separated list of VMIDs/CTIDs to limit the scope; omit to start all guests on the node. | |
| node | No | PVE node name whose guests to start; defaults to the configured node if omitted. | |
| confirm | No | False (default) returns a dry-run PLAN only; True executes the bulk start. | |
| proximo_target | No | Which configured Proxmox target to run this call against — a target name from your multi-target config (a specific PVE/PBS/PMG/PDM box). Omit to use the single/default target from the environment; the selection applies only to this call. |
