`multipass start` command
The multipass start
command without any argument will start the primary instance (and create it first if it didn’t exist yet). You can also pass one or more instance names or the --all
option to start more instances at the same time:
$ multipass start
Configuring primary \
Launching primary |
…
$ multipass shell
multipass@primary:~$
The full multipass help start
output explains the available options:
$ multipass help start
Usage: multipass start [options] [<name> ...]
Start the named instances. Exits with return code 0
when the instances start, or with an error code if
any fail to start.
Options:
-h, --help Display this help
-v, --verbose Increase logging verbosity, repeat up to three times for more
detail
--all Start all instances
Arguments:
name Names of instances to start. If omitted, and without the --all
option, 'primary' (the configured primary instance name) will
be assumed. If 'primary' does not exist but is included in a
successful start command (either implicitly or explicitly), it
is launched automatically (see `launch` for more info).
