6 QMP Supported Commands
7 ----------------------
8
9This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
10
11Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this
12means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage,
13QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.
14
15QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular commands
16usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while query commands just
17return information. The sections below are divided accordingly.
18
19It's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted in
20a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand. However, in real
21protocol usage, they're emitted as a single line.
22
23Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
24
25-> data issued by the Client
26<- Server data response
27
28Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
29information on the Server command and response formats.
30
31NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.
32
331. Stability Considerations
34===========================
35
36The current QMP command set (described in this file) may be useful for a
37number of use cases, however it's limited and several commands have bad
38defined semantics, specially with regard to command completion.
39
40These problems are going to be solved incrementally in the next QEMU releases
41and we're going to establish a deprecation policy for badly defined commands.
42
43If you're planning to adopt QMP, please observe the following:
44
45 1. The deprecation policy will take effect and be documented soon, please
46 check the documentation of each used command as soon as a new release of
47 QEMU is available
48
49 2. DO NOT rely on anything which is not explicit documented
50
51 3. Errors, in special, are not documented. Applications should NOT check
52 for specific errors classes or data (it's strongly recommended to only
53 check for the "error" key)
54
552. Regular Commands
56===================
57
58Server's responses in the examples below are always a success response, please
59refer to the QMP specification for more details on error responses.

997
998Arguments:
999
1000- "device": The device's ID, must be unique (json-string)
1001- "base": The file name of the backing image to write data into.
1002 If not specified, this is the deepest backing image
1003 (json-string, optional)
1004- "top": The file name of the backing image within the image chain,
1005 which contains the topmost data to be committed down. If
1006 not specified, this is the active layer. (json-string, optional)
1007
1008- backing-file: The backing file string to write into the overlay
1009 image of 'top'. If 'top' is the active layer,
1010 specifying a backing file string is an error. This
1011 filename is not validated.
1012
1013 If a pathname string is such that it cannot be
1014 resolved by QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or
1015 HMP commands must use node-names for the image in
1016 question, as filename lookup methods will fail.
1017
1018 If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine
1019 the backing file string to use, or error out if
1020 there is no obvious choice. Care should be taken
1021 when specifying the string, to specify a valid
1022 filename or protocol.
1023 (json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)
1024
1025 If top == base, that is an error.
1026 If top == active, the job will not be completed by itself,
1027 user needs to complete the job with the block-job-complete
1028 command after getting the ready event. (Since 2.0)
1029
1030 If the base image is smaller than top, then the base image
1031 will be resized to be the same size as top. If top is
1032 smaller than the base image, the base will not be
1033 truncated. If you want the base image size to match the
1034 size of the smaller top, you can safely truncate it
1035 yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.

1077 possibilities include "full" for all the disk, "top" for only the sectors
1078 allocated in the topmost image, or "none" to only replicate new I/O
1079 (MirrorSyncMode).
1080- "mode": whether and how QEMU should create a new image
1081 (NewImageMode, optional, default 'absolute-paths')
1082- "speed": the maximum speed, in bytes per second (json-int, optional)
1083- "on-source-error": the action to take on an error on the source, default
1084 'report'. 'stop' and 'enospc' can only be used
1085 if the block device supports io-status.
1086 (BlockdevOnError, optional)

1135Atomically operate on one or more block devices. The only supported operations
1136for now are drive-backup, internal and external snapshotting. A list of
1137dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
1138If there is any failure performing any of the operations, all operations
1139for the group are abandoned.
1140
1141For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1142the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
1143qcow2.
1144
1145Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1146contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1147an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1148the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1149perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1150current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1151
1152On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1153
1154For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1155name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1156be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1157and sheepdog.
1158
1159On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1160transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix

1322
1323Start mirroring a block device's writes to a new destination. target
1324specifies the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is
1325a device, it will be used as the new destination for writes. If it does not
1326exist, a new file will be created. format specifies the format of the
1327mirror image, default is to probe if mode='existing', else the format
1328of the source.
1329
1330Arguments:
1331
1332- "device": device name to operate on (json-string)
1333- "target": name of new image file (json-string)
1334- "format": format of new image (json-string, optional)
1335- "node-name": the name of the new block driver state in the node graph
1336 (json-string, optional)
1337- "replaces": the block driver node name to replace when finished
1338 (json-string, optional)
1339- "mode": how an image file should be created into the target
1340 file/device (NewImageMode, optional, default 'absolute-paths')
1341- "speed": maximum speed of the streaming job, in bytes per second
1342 (json-int)
1343- "granularity": granularity of the dirty bitmap, in bytes (json-int, optional)
1344- "buf_size": maximum amount of data in flight from source to target, in bytes
1345 (json-int, default 10M)
1346- "sync": what parts of the disk image should be copied to the destination;
1347 possibilities include "full" for all the disk, "top" for only the sectors
1348 allocated in the topmost image, or "none" to only replicate new I/O
1349 (MirrorSyncMode).
1350- "on-source-error": the action to take on an error on the source
1351 (BlockdevOnError, default 'report')
1352- "on-target-error": the action to take on an error on the target
1353 (BlockdevOnError, default 'report')
1354
1355The default value of the granularity is the image cluster size clamped
1356between 4096 and 65536, if the image format defines one. If the format
1357does not define a cluster size, the default value of the granularity
1358is 65536.

1379-------------------
1380Since: 2.1
1381
1382Change the backing file in the image file metadata. This does not cause
1383QEMU to reopen the image file to reparse the backing filename (it may,
1384however, perform a reopen to change permissions from r/o -> r/w -> r/o,
1385if needed). The new backing file string is written into the image file
1386metadata, and the QEMU internal strings are updated.
1387
1388Arguments:
1389
1390- "image-node-name": The name of the block driver state node of the
1391 image to modify. The "device" is argument is used to
1392 verify "image-node-name" is in the chain described by
1393 "device".
1394 (json-string, optional)
1395
1396- "device": The name of the device.
1397 (json-string)
1398
1399- "backing-file": The string to write as the backing file. This string is
1400 not validated, so care should be taken when specifying
1401 the string or the image chain may not be able to be
1402 reopened again.
1403 (json-string)

3017 migration has ended, it returns the total migration
3018 time (json-int)
3019- "setup-time" amount of setup time in milliseconds _before_ the
3020 iterations begin but _after_ the QMP command is issued.
3021 This is designed to provide an accounting of any activities
3022 (such as RDMA pinning) which may be expensive, but do not
3023 actually occur during the iterative migration rounds
3024 themselves. (json-int)
3025- "downtime": only present when migration has finished correctly
3026 total amount in ms for downtime that happened (json-int)
3027- "expected-downtime": only present while migration is active
3028 total amount in ms for downtime that was calculated on
3029 the last bitmap round (json-int)
3030- "ram": only present if "status" is "active", it is a json-object with the

3032 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3033 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes (json-int)
3034 - "total": total amount of memory in bytes (json-int)
3035 - "duplicate": number of pages filled entirely with the same
3036 byte (json-int)
3037 These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.
3038 - "skipped": number of skipped zero pages (json-int)
3039 - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred. I.e. they
3040 were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
3041 - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
3042 pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
3043 but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
3044 size (json-int)
3045 - "dirty-sync-count": times that dirty ram was synchronized (json-int)
3046- "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
3047 it is a json-object with the following disk information:
3048 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3049 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
3050 - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
3051- "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
3052 It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
3053 - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
3054 - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
3055 - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
3056 - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3057 - "cache-miss-rate": rate of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3058 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
3059 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
3060 whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
3061 normal page).
