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

1053 transaction
1054 -----------
1055
1056 Atomically operate on one or more block devices. The only supported operations
1057 for now are drive-backup, internal and external snapshotting. A list of
1058 dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
1059 If there is any failure performing any of the operations, all operations
1060 for the group are abandoned.
1061
1062 For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1063 the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
1064 qcow2.
1065
1066 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1067 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1068 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1069 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1070 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1071 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1072
1073 On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1074
1075 For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1076 name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1077 be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1078 and sheepdog.
1079
1080 On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1081 transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1082 it later with qemu-img or other command.
1083
1084 Arguments:

1086 actions array:
1087 - "type": the operation to perform. The only supported
1088 value is "blockdev-snapshot-sync". (json-string)

1093 - "snapshot-file": name of new image file (json-string)

2791 Return a json-object. If migration is active there will be another json-object
2792 with RAM migration status and if block migration is active another one with
2793 block migration status.
2794
2795 The main json-object contains the following:
2796
2797 - "status": migration status (json-string)
2798 - Possible values: "active", "completed", "failed", "cancelled"
2799 - "total-time": total amount of ms since migration started. If
2800 migration has ended, it returns the total migration
2801 time (json-int)
2802 - "setup-time" amount of setup time in milliseconds _before_ the
2803 iterations begin but _after_ the QMP command is issued.
2804 This is designed to provide an accounting of any activities
2805 (such as RDMA pinning) which may be expensive, but do not
2806 actually occur during the iterative migration rounds
2807 themselves. (json-int)
2808 - "downtime": only present when migration has finished correctly
2809 total amount in ms for downtime that happened (json-int)
2810 - "expected-downtime": only present while migration is active
2811 total amount in ms for downtime that was calculated on
2812 the last bitmap round (json-int)
2813 - "ram": only present if "status" is "active", it is a json-object with the
2814 following RAM information:
2815 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
2816 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes (json-int)
2817 - "total": total amount of memory in bytes (json-int)
2818 - "duplicate": number of pages filled entirely with the same
2819 byte (json-int)
2820 These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.
2821 - "skipped": number of skipped zero pages (json-int)
2822 - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred. I.e. they
2823 were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
2824 - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
2825 pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
2826 but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
2827 size (json-int)
2828 - "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
2829 it is a json-object with the following disk information:
2830 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
2831 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
2832 - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
2833 - "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
2834 It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
2835 - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
2836 - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
2837 - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
2838 - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
2839 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
2840 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
2841 whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
2842 normal page).
