If you actually import the vma into proxmox, you can also use “qm showcmd” and it will give you the full commandline it uses to start the vm, so those parameters can be directly applied to qemu.

The only difference between proxmox and regular qemu, is that proxmox by default leverages the hardware virtualization support provided by kvm.
