You can interrogate a virtual machine for its full configuration by using the vm show command. Here is a virtual machine that we've created with three discs:

$ bigv vm show inkling
-----------------  VM inkling: 2 cores, 4 GiB RAM, 491 GiB on 3 discs (£0.00)  -
Power:         on
CD-ROM:        (none)
Console users: TODO
Disc vda:                                                100 GiB, sata grade
Disc vdb:                                                195 GiB, sata grade
Disc dump:                                               195 GiB, sata grade
Net :                       213.138.100.123, 2001:41c8:51:7b:feff:ff:fe00:cf

Each of the attributes is explained here:

Power

Machines can be powered off with vm stop if they're temporarily not required, and vm start when you need to use them again.

CD-ROM

The address of the CD-ROM currently in use, or (none) if there isn't one. This can be controlled by the vm insertcd and vm removecd commands.

Console users

This is still marked "to do" but the system will allow you to create further users, and allow them access to the system's console and reboot facilities. Currently this fiels isn't used for anything.

Discs

Each virtual machine can support up to 8 discs. You can read about these in more detail in the discs section, but each one is detailed with its name, size and grade.

Network interfaces

Currently this section only shows one network interfaces, and the first IPv4 and IPv6 address. If you've created new IP addresses with ip new you'll need to ask us to remind you, sorry!
