6 QMP Supported Commands
7 ----------------------
8
9 This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
10
11 Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this
12 means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage,
13 QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.
14
15 QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular commands
16 usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while query commands just
17 return information. The sections below are divided accordingly.
18
19 It's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted in
20 a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand. However, in real
21 protocol usage, they're emitted as a single line.
22
23 Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
24
25 -> data issued by the Client
26 <- Server data response
27
28 Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
29 information on the Server command and response formats.
30
31 NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.
32
33 1. Stability Considerations
34 ===========================
35
36 The current QMP command set (described in this file) may be useful for a
37 number of use cases, however it's limited and several commands have bad
38 defined semantics, specially with regard to command completion.
39
40 These problems are going to be solved incrementally in the next QEMU releases
41 and we're going to establish a deprecation policy for badly defined commands.
42
43 If 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
55 2. Regular Commands
56 ===================
57
58 Server's responses in the examples below are always a success response, please
59 refer to the QMP specification for more details on error responses.

547 replaced. Bug: replacement doesn't work. Bug: can screw
548 up on encountering NUL characters, after the ring buffer
549 lost data, and when reading stops because the size limit
550 is reached.

1068 - "base": The file name of the backing image above which copying starts
1069 (json-string, optional)
1070 - "backing-file": The backing file string to write into the active layer. This
1071 filename is not validated.
1072
1073 If a pathname string is such that it cannot be resolved by
1074 QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or HMP commands must use
1075 node-names for the image in question, as filename lookup
1076 methods will fail.
1077
1078 If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine the

1080 obvious choice. Care should be taken when specifying the
1081 string, to specify a valid filename or protocol.

1111 - "device": The device's ID, must be unique (json-string)
1112 - "base": The file name of the backing image to write data into.
1113 If not specified, this is the deepest backing image
1114 (json-string, optional)
1115 - "top": The file name of the backing image within the image chain,
1116 which contains the topmost data to be committed down. If
1117 not specified, this is the active layer. (json-string, optional)
1118
1119 - backing-file: The backing file string to write into the overlay
1120 image of 'top'. If 'top' is the active layer,
1121 specifying a backing file string is an error. This
1122 filename is not validated.
1123
1124 If a pathname string is such that it cannot be
1125 resolved by QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or
1126 HMP commands must use node-names for the image in
1127 question, as filename lookup methods will fail.
1128
1129 If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine
1130 the backing file string to use, or error out if
1131 there is no obvious choice. Care should be taken
1132 when specifying the string, to specify a valid
1133 filename or protocol.
1134 (json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)
1135
1136 If top == base, that is an error.
1137 If top == active, the job will not be completed by itself,
1138 user needs to complete the job with the block-job-complete
1139 command after getting the ready event. (Since 2.0)
1140
1141 If the base image is smaller than top, then the base image
1142 will be resized to be the same size as top. If top is
1143 smaller than the base image, the base will not be
1144 truncated. If you want the base image size to match the
1145 size of the smaller top, you can safely truncate it
1146 yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.

1296 - blockdev-snapshot-internal-sync
1297 - abort
1298 - block-dirty-bitmap-add
1299 - block-dirty-bitmap-clear
1300
1301 Refer to the qemu/qapi-schema.json file for minimum required QEMU
1302 versions for these operations. A list of dictionaries is accepted,
1303 that contains the actions to be performed. If there is any failure
1304 performing any of the operations, all operations for the group are
1305 abandoned.
1306
1307 For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1308 the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
1309 qcow2.
1310
1311 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1312 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1313 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1314 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1315 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1316 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1317
1318 On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1319
1320 For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1321 name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1322 be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1323 and sheepdog.

3481 - "status": migration status (json-string)
3482 - Possible values: "setup", "active", "completed", "failed", "cancelled"
3483 - "total-time": total amount of ms since migration started. If
3484 migration has ended, it returns the total migration
3485 time (json-int)
3486 - "setup-time" amount of setup time in milliseconds _before_ the
3487 iterations begin but _after_ the QMP command is issued.
3488 This is designed to provide an accounting of any activities
3489 (such as RDMA pinning) which may be expensive, but do not
3490 actually occur during the iterative migration rounds
3491 themselves. (json-int)
3492 - "downtime": only present when migration has finished correctly
3493 total amount in ms for downtime that happened (json-int)
3494 - "expected-downtime": only present while migration is active
3495 total amount in ms for downtime that was calculated on
3496 the last bitmap round (json-int)
3497 - "ram": only present if "status" is "active", it is a json-object with the
3498 following RAM information:
3499 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3500 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes (json-int)
3501 - "total": total amount of memory in bytes (json-int)
3502 - "duplicate": number of pages filled entirely with the same
3503 byte (json-int)
3504 These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.
3505 - "skipped": number of skipped zero pages (json-int)
3506 - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred. I.e. they
3507 were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
3508 - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
3509 pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
3510 but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
3511 size (json-int)
3512 - "dirty-sync-count": times that dirty ram was synchronized (json-int)
3513 - "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
3514 it is a json-object with the following disk information:
3515 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3516 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
3517 - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
3518 - "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
3519 It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
3520 - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
3521 - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
3522 - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
3523 - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3524 - "cache-miss-rate": rate of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3525 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
3526 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
3527 whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
3528 normal page).

4153 ------------
4154 Since 2.5
4155
4156 Deletes a block device thas has been added using blockdev-add.
4157 The selected device can be either a block backend or a graph node.
4158
4159 In the former case the backend will be destroyed, along with its
4160 inserted medium if there's any. The command will fail if the backend
4161 or its medium are in use.
4162
4163 In the latter case the node will be destroyed. The command will fail
4164 if the node is attached to a block backend or is otherwise being
4165 used.
4166
4167 One of "id" or "node-name" must be specified, but not both.

4210 ------------------
4211
4212 Opens a block device's tray. If there is a block driver state tree inserted as a
4213 medium, it will become inaccessible to the guest (but it will remain associated
4214 to the block device, so closing the tray will make it accessible again).
4215
4216 If the tray was already open before, this will be a no-op.
4217
4218 Once the tray opens, a DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED event is emitted. There are cases in
4219 which no such event will be generated, these include:
4220 - if the guest has locked the tray, @force is false and the guest does not
4221 respond to the eject request
4222 - if the BlockBackend denoted by @device does not have a guest device attached
4223 to it
4224 - if the guest device does not have an actual tray and is empty, for instance
4225 for floppy disk drives
4226
4227 Arguments:
4228
4229 - "device": block device name (json-string)
4230 - "force": if false (the default), an eject request will be sent to the guest if
4231 it has locked the tray (and the tray will not be opened immediately);
