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.

546 up on encountering NUL characters, after the ring buffer
547 lost data, and when reading stops because the size limit
548 is reached.

997
998 Arguments:
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.

1175 -----------
1176
1177 Atomically operate on one or more block devices. The only supported operations
1178 for now are drive-backup, internal and external snapshotting. A list of
1179 dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
1180 If there is any failure performing any of the operations, all operations
1181 for the group are abandoned.
1182
1183 For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1184 the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
1185 qcow2.
1186
1187 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1188 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1189 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1190 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1191 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1192 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1193
1194 On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1195
1196 For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1197 name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1198 be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1199 and sheepdog.
1200
1201 On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1202 transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1203 it later with qemu-img or other command.
1204
1205 Arguments:

1207 actions array:
1208 - "type": the operation to perform. The only supported
1209 value is "blockdev-snapshot-sync". (json-string)

1363 ------------
1364
1365 Start mirroring a block device's writes to a new destination. target
1366 specifies the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is
1367 a device, it will be used as the new destination for writes. If it does not
1368 exist, a new file will be created. format specifies the format of the
1369 mirror image, default is to probe if mode='existing', else the format
1370 of the source.
1371
1372 Arguments:
1373
1374 - "device": device name to operate on (json-string)
1375 - "target": name of new image file (json-string)
1376 - "format": format of new image (json-string, optional)

1378 (json-string, optional)
1379 - "replaces": the block driver node name to replace when finished
1380 (json-string, optional)
1381 - "mode": how an image file should be created into the target
1382 file/device (NewImageMode, optional, default 'absolute-paths')
1383 - "speed": maximum speed of the streaming job, in bytes per second
1384 (json-int)
1385 - "granularity": granularity of the dirty bitmap, in bytes (json-int, optional)
1386 - "buf_size": maximum amount of data in flight from source to target, in bytes
1387 (json-int, default 10M)
1388 - "sync": what parts of the disk image should be copied to the destination;
1389 possibilities include "full" for all the disk, "top" for only the sectors
1390 allocated in the topmost image, or "none" to only replicate new I/O
1391 (MirrorSyncMode).
1392 - "on-source-error": the action to take on an error on the source
1393 (BlockdevOnError, default 'report')
1394 - "on-target-error": the action to take on an error on the target
1395 (BlockdevOnError, default 'report')
1396
1397 The default value of the granularity is the image cluster size clamped
1398 between 4096 and 65536, if the image format defines one. If the format
1399 does not define a cluster size, the default value of the granularity
1400 is 65536.

1422 Since: 2.1
1423
1424 Change the backing file in the image file metadata. This does not cause
1425 QEMU to reopen the image file to reparse the backing filename (it may,
1426 however, perform a reopen to change permissions from r/o -> r/w -> r/o,
1427 if needed). The new backing file string is written into the image file
1428 metadata, and the QEMU internal strings are updated.
1429
1430 Arguments:
1431
1432 - "image-node-name": The name of the block driver state node of the
1433 image to modify. The "device" is argument is used to
1434 verify "image-node-name" is in the chain described by
1435 "device".
1436 (json-string, optional)
1437
1438 - "device": The name of the device.
1439 (json-string)
1440
1441 - "backing-file": The string to write as the backing file. This string is
1442 not validated, so care should be taken when specifying
1443 the string or the image chain may not be able to be
1444 reopened again.
1445 (json-string)

1884 (1) The Human Monitor is NOT an stable interface, this means that command
1885 names, arguments and responses can change or be removed at ANY time.
1886 Applications that rely on long term stability guarantees should NOT
1887 use this command
1888
1889 (2) Limitations:
1890
1891 o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
1892 on state information (such as getfd) might not work
1893
1894 o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block
1895 device is encrypted) don't currently work
1896
1897 3. Query Commands

3078 - "status": migration status (json-string)
3079 - Possible values: "setup", "active", "completed", "failed", "cancelled"
3080 - "total-time": total amount of ms since migration started. If
3081 migration has ended, it returns the total migration
3082 time (json-int)
3083 - "setup-time" amount of setup time in milliseconds _before_ the
3084 iterations begin but _after_ the QMP command is issued.
3085 This is designed to provide an accounting of any activities
3086 (such as RDMA pinning) which may be expensive, but do not
3087 actually occur during the iterative migration rounds
3088 themselves. (json-int)
3089 - "downtime": only present when migration has finished correctly
3090 total amount in ms for downtime that happened (json-int)
3091 - "expected-downtime": only present while migration is active
3092 total amount in ms for downtime that was calculated on
3093 the last bitmap round (json-int)
3094 - "ram": only present if "status" is "active", it is a json-object with the
3095 following RAM information:
3096 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3097 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes (json-int)
3098 - "total": total amount of memory in bytes (json-int)
3099 - "duplicate": number of pages filled entirely with the same
3100 byte (json-int)
3101 These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.
3102 - "skipped": number of skipped zero pages (json-int)
3103 - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred. I.e. they
3104 were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
3105 - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
3106 pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
3107 but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
3108 size (json-int)
3109 - "dirty-sync-count": times that dirty ram was synchronized (json-int)
3110 - "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
3111 it is a json-object with the following disk information:
3112 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3113 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
3114 - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
3115 - "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
3116 It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
3117 - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
3118 - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
3119 - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
3120 - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3121 - "cache-miss-rate": rate of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3122 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
3123 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
3124 whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
3125 normal page).
