On a Harvester server is there a way to start a VM using CLI instead of the WebUI? I need it for a script to shutdown a cluster and to start it up later.

you could use

virtctl

along with the harvester kubeconfig to manage the state of VM’s if needed

We use terraform for that, but for a scripted usage, I think @great-bear-19718's solution makes sense. TIL about virtctl!

@stale-painting-80203 Maybe you could give [this](https://github.com/belgaied2/harvester-cli) a try

Will check it out. Thanks
