@include qemu-nbd.texi
+@node disk_images_formats
+@subsection Disk image file formats
+
+QEMU supports many image file formats that can be used with VMs as well as with
+any of the tools (like @code{qemu-img}). This includes the preferred formats
+raw and qcow2 as well as formats that are supported for compatibility with
+older QEMU versions or other hypervisors.
+
+Depending on the image format, different options can be passed to
+@code{qemu-img create} and @code{qemu-img convert} using the @code{-o} option.
+This section describes each format and the options that are supported for it.
+
+@table @option
+@item raw
+
+Raw disk image format. This format has the advantage of
+being simple and easily exportable to all other emulators. If your
+file system supports @emph{holes} (for example in ext2 or ext3 on
+Linux or NTFS on Windows), then only the written sectors will reserve
+space. Use @code{qemu-img info} to know the real size used by the
+image or @code{ls -ls} on Unix/Linux.
+
+@item qcow2
+QEMU image format, the most versatile format. Use it to have smaller
+images (useful if your filesystem does not supports holes, for example
+on Windows), optional AES encryption, zlib based compression and
+support of multiple VM snapshots.
+
+Supported options:
+@table @code
+@item compat
+Determines the qcow2 version to use. @code{compat=0.10} uses the traditional
+image format that can be read by any QEMU since 0.10 (this is the default).
+@code{compat=1.1} enables image format extensions that only QEMU 1.1 and
+newer understand. Amongst others, this includes zero clusters, which allow
+efficient copy-on-read for sparse images.
+
+@item backing_file
+File name of a base image (see @option{create} subcommand)
+@item backing_fmt
+Image format of the base image
+@item encryption
+If this option is set to @code{on}, the image is encrypted.
+
+Encryption uses the AES format which is very secure (128 bit keys). Use
+a long password (16 characters) to get maximum protection.
+
+@item cluster_size
+Changes the qcow2 cluster size (must be between 512 and 2M). Smaller cluster
+sizes can improve the image file size whereas larger cluster sizes generally
+provide better performance.
+
+@item preallocation
+Preallocation mode (allowed values: off, metadata). An image with preallocated
+metadata is initially larger but can improve performance when the image needs
+to grow.
+
+@item lazy_refcounts
+If this option is set to @code{on}, reference count updates are postponed with
+the goal of avoiding metadata I/O and improving performance. This is
+particularly interesting with @option{cache=writethrough} which doesn't batch
+metadata updates. The tradeoff is that after a host crash, the reference count
+tables must be rebuilt, i.e. on the next open an (automatic) @code{qemu-img
+check -r all} is required, which may take some time.
+
+This option can only be enabled if @code{compat=1.1} is specified.
+
+@end table
+
+@item qed
+Old QEMU image format with support for backing files and compact image files
+(when your filesystem or transport medium does not support holes).
+
+When converting QED images to qcow2, you might want to consider using the
+@code{lazy_refcounts=on} option to get a more QED-like behaviour.
+
+Supported options:
+@table @code
+@item backing_file
+File name of a base image (see @option{create} subcommand).
+@item backing_fmt
+Image file format of backing file (optional). Useful if the format cannot be
+autodetected because it has no header, like some vhd/vpc files.
+@item cluster_size
+Changes the cluster size (must be power-of-2 between 4K and 64K). Smaller
+cluster sizes can improve the image file size whereas larger cluster sizes
+generally provide better performance.
+@item table_size
+Changes the number of clusters per L1/L2 table (must be power-of-2 between 1
+and 16). There is normally no need to change this value but this option can be
+used for performance benchmarking.
+@end table
+
+@item qcow
+Old QEMU image format with support for backing files, compact image files,
+encryption and compression.
+
+Supported options:
+@table @code
+@item backing_file
+File name of a base image (see @option{create} subcommand)
+@item encryption
+If this option is set to @code{on}, the image is encrypted.
+@end table
+
+@item cow
+User Mode Linux Copy On Write image format. It is supported only for
+compatibility with previous versions.
+Supported options:
+@table @code
+@item backing_file
+File name of a base image (see @option{create} subcommand)
+@end table
+
+@item vdi
+VirtualBox 1.1 compatible image format.
+Supported options:
+@table @code
+@item static
+If this option is set to @code{on}, the image is created with metadata
+preallocation.
+@end table
+
+@item vmdk
+VMware 3 and 4 compatible image format.
+
+Supported options:
+@table @code
+@item backing_file
+File name of a base image (see @option{create} subcommand).
+@item compat6
+Create a VMDK version 6 image (instead of version 4)
+@item subformat
+Specifies which VMDK subformat to use. Valid options are
+@code{monolithicSparse} (default),
+@code{monolithicFlat},
+@code{twoGbMaxExtentSparse},
+@code{twoGbMaxExtentFlat} and
+@code{streamOptimized}.
+@end table
+
+@item vpc
+VirtualPC compatible image format (VHD).
+Supported options:
+@table @code
+@item subformat
+Specifies which VHD subformat to use. Valid options are
+@code{dynamic} (default) and @code{fixed}.
+@end table
+@end table
+
+@subsubsection Read-only formats
+More disk image file formats are supported in a read-only mode.
+@table @option
+@item bochs
+Bochs images of @code{growing} type.
+@item cloop
+Linux Compressed Loop image, useful only to reuse directly compressed

@node host_drives
@subsection Using host drives
directory tree. In order to use it, just type:
@example
-qemu linux.img -hdb fat:/my_directory
+qemu-system-i386 linux.img -hdb fat:/my_directory
@end example
Then you access access to all the files in the @file{/my_directory}
Floppies can be emulated with the @code{:floppy:} option:
@example
-qemu linux.img -fda fat:floppy:/my_directory
+qemu-system-i386 linux.img -fda fat:floppy:/my_directory
@end example
A read/write support is available for testing (beta stage) with the
@code{:rw:} option:
@example
-qemu linux.img -fda fat:floppy:rw:/my_directory
+qemu-system-i386 linux.img -fda fat:floppy:rw:/my_directory
@end example
What you should @emph{never} do:
protocol.
@example
-qemu linux.img -hdb nbd:my_nbd_server.mydomain.org:1024
+qemu-system-i386 linux.img -hdb nbd://my_nbd_server.mydomain.org:1024/
@end example
If the NBD server is located on the same host, you can use an unix socket instead
of an inet socket:
@example
-qemu linux.img -hdb nbd:unix:/tmp/my_socket
+qemu-system-i386 linux.img -hdb nbd+unix://?socket=/tmp/my_socket
@end example
In this case, the block device must be exported using qemu-nbd:
qemu-nbd --socket=/tmp/my_socket --share=2 my_disk.qcow2
@end example
+@noindent
and then you can use it with two guests:
@example
-qemu linux1.img -hdb nbd:unix:/tmp/my_socket
-qemu linux2.img -hdb nbd:unix:/tmp/my_socket
+qemu-system-i386 linux1.img -hdb nbd+unix://?socket=/tmp/my_socket
+qemu-system-i386 linux2.img -hdb nbd+unix://?socket=/tmp/my_socket
+@end example
+
+If the nbd-server uses named exports (supported since NBD 2.9.18, or with QEMU's
+own embedded NBD server), you must specify an export name in the URI:
+@example
+qemu-system-i386 -cdrom nbd://localhost/debian-500-ppc-netinst
+qemu-system-i386 -cdrom nbd://localhost/openSUSE-11.1-ppc-netinst
+@end example
+
+The URI syntax for NBD is supported since QEMU 1.3. An alternative syntax is
+also available. Here are some example of the older syntax:
+@example
+qemu-system-i386 linux.img -hdb nbd:my_nbd_server.mydomain.org:1024
+qemu-system-i386 linux2.img -hdb nbd:unix:/tmp/my_socket
+qemu-system-i386 -cdrom nbd:localhost:10809:exportname=debian-500-ppc-netinst
+@end example
+
+@node disk_images_sheepdog
+@subsection Sheepdog disk images
+
+Sheepdog is a distributed storage system for QEMU. It provides highly
+available block level storage volumes that can be attached to
+QEMU-based virtual machines.
+
+You can create a Sheepdog disk image with the command:
+@example
+qemu-img create sheepdog:///@var{image} @var{size}
+@end example
+where @var{image} is the Sheepdog image name and @var{size} is its
+size.
+
+To import the existing @var{filename} to Sheepdog, you can use a
+convert command.
+@example
+qemu-img convert @var{filename} sheepdog:///@var{image}
@end example
+You can boot from the Sheepdog disk image with the command:
+@example
+qemu-system-i386 sheepdog:///@var{image}
+@end example
+
+You can also create a snapshot of the Sheepdog image like qcow2.
+@example
+qemu-img snapshot -c @var{tag} sheepdog:///@var{image}
+@end example
+where @var{tag} is a tag name of the newly created snapshot.
+
+To boot from the Sheepdog snapshot, specify the tag name of the
+snapshot.
+@example
+qemu-system-i386 sheepdog:///@var{image}#@var{tag}
+@end example
+
+You can create a cloned image from the existing snapshot.
+@example
+qemu-img create -b sheepdog:///@var{base}#@var{tag} sheepdog:///@var{image}
+@end example
+where @var{base} is a image name of the source snapshot and @var{tag}
+is its tag name.
+
+You can use an unix socket instead of an inet socket:
+
+@example
+qemu-system-i386 sheepdog+unix:///@var{image}?socket=@var{path}
+@end example
+
+If the Sheepdog daemon doesn't run on the local host, you need to
+specify one of the Sheepdog servers to connect to.
+@example
+qemu-img create sheepdog://@var{hostname}:@var{port}/@var{image} @var{size}
+qemu-system-i386 sheepdog://@var{hostname}:@var{port}/@var{image}
+@end example
+
+@node disk_images_iscsi
+@subsection iSCSI LUNs
+
+iSCSI is a popular protocol used to access SCSI devices across a computer
+network.
+
+There are two different ways iSCSI devices can be used by QEMU.
+
+The first method is to mount the iSCSI LUN on the host, and make it appear as
+any other ordinary SCSI device on the host and then to access this device as a
+/dev/sd device from QEMU. How to do this differs between host OSes.
+
+The second method involves using the iSCSI initiator that is built into
+QEMU. This provides a mechanism that works the same way regardless of which
+host OS you are running QEMU on. This section will describe this second method
+of using iSCSI together with QEMU.
+
+In QEMU, iSCSI devices are described using special iSCSI URLs
+
+@example
+URL syntax:
+iscsi://[<username>[%<password>]@@]<host>[:<port>]/<target-iqn-name>/<lun>
+@end example
+
+Username and password are optional and only used if your target is set up
+using CHAP authentication for access control.
+Alternatively the username and password can also be set via environment
+variables to have these not show up in the process list
+
+@example
+export LIBISCSI_CHAP_USERNAME=<username>
+export LIBISCSI_CHAP_PASSWORD=<password>
+iscsi://<host>/<target-iqn-name>/<lun>
+@end example
+
+Various session related parameters can be set via special options, either
+in a configuration file provided via '-readconfig' or directly on the
+command line.
+
+If the initiator-name is not specified qemu will use a default name
+of 'iqn.2008-11.org.linux-kvm[:<name>'] where <name> is the name of the
+virtual machine.
+
+
+@example
+Setting a specific initiator name to use when logging in to the target
+-iscsi initiator-name=iqn.qemu.test:my-initiator
+@end example
+
+@example
+Controlling which type of header digest to negotiate with the target
+-iscsi header-digest=CRC32C|CRC32C-NONE|NONE-CRC32C|NONE
+@end example
+
+These can also be set via a configuration file
+@example
+[iscsi]
+ user = "CHAP username"
+ password = "CHAP password"
+ initiator-name = "iqn.qemu.test:my-initiator"
+ # header digest is one of CRC32C|CRC32C-NONE|NONE-CRC32C|NONE
+ header-digest = "CRC32C"
+@end example
+
+
+Setting the target name allows different options for different targets
+@example
+[iscsi "iqn.target.name"]
+ user = "CHAP username"
+ password = "CHAP password"
+ initiator-name = "iqn.qemu.test:my-initiator"
+ # header digest is one of CRC32C|CRC32C-NONE|NONE-CRC32C|NONE
+ header-digest = "CRC32C"
+@end example
+
+
+Howto use a configuration file to set iSCSI configuration options:
+@example
+cat >iscsi.conf <<EOF
+[iscsi]
+ user = "me"
+ password = "my password"
+ initiator-name = "iqn.qemu.test:my-initiator"
+ header-digest = "CRC32C"
+EOF
+
+qemu-system-i386 -drive file=iscsi://127.0.0.1/iqn.qemu.test/1 \
+ -readconfig iscsi.conf
+@end example
+
+
+Howto set up a simple iSCSI target on loopback and accessing it via QEMU:
+@example
+This example shows how to set up an iSCSI target with one CDROM and one DISK
+using the Linux STGT software target. This target is available on Red Hat based

+
+@node disk_images_gluster
+@subsection GlusterFS disk images
+
+GlusterFS is an user space distributed file system.
+
+You can boot from the GlusterFS disk image with the command:
+@example
+qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=gluster[+@var{transport}]://[@var{server}[:@var{port}]]/@var{volname}/@var{image}[?socket=...]
+@end example
+
+@var{gluster} is the protocol.
+
+@var{transport} specifies the transport type used to connect to gluster
+management daemon (glusterd). Valid transport types are
+tcp, unix and rdma. If a transport type isn't specified, then tcp
+type is assumed.
+
+@var{server} specifies the server where the volume file specification for
+the given volume resides. This can be either hostname, ipv4 address
+or ipv6 address. ipv6 address needs to be within square brackets [ ].
+If transport type is unix, then @var{server} field should not be specifed.
+Instead @var{socket} field needs to be populated with the path to unix domain
+socket.
+
+@var{port} is the port number on which glusterd is listening. This is optional
+and if not specified, QEMU will send 0 which will make gluster to use the
+default port. If the transport type is unix, then @var{port} should not be
+specified.
+
+@var{volname} is the name of the gluster volume which contains the disk image.
+
+@var{image} is the path to the actual disk image that resides on gluster volume.
+
+You can create a GlusterFS disk image with the command:
+@example
+qemu-img create gluster://@var{server}/@var{volname}/@var{image} @var{size}
+@end example
+
+Examples
+@example
+qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=gluster://1.2.3.4/testvol/a.img
+qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=gluster+tcp://1.2.3.4/testvol/a.img
+qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=gluster+tcp://1.2.3.4:24007/testvol/dir/a.img
+qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=gluster+tcp://[1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8]/testvol/dir/a.img

+@node disk_images_ssh
+@subsection Secure Shell (ssh) disk images
+
+You can access disk images located on a remote ssh server
+by using the ssh protocol:
+
+@example

+@end example
+
+@var{ssh} is the protocol.
+
+@var{user} is the remote user. If not specified, then the local
+username is tried.
+
+@var{server} specifies the remote ssh server. Any ssh server can be
+used, but it must implement the sftp-server protocol. Most Unix/Linux
+systems should work without requiring any extra configuration.
+
+@var{port} is the port number on which sshd is listening. By default
+the standard ssh port (22) is used.
+
+@var{path} is the path to the disk image.
+
+The optional @var{host_key_check} parameter controls how the remote
+host's key is checked. The default is @code{yes} which means to use
+the local @file{.ssh/known_hosts} file. Setting this to @code{no}
+turns off known-hosts checking. Or you can check that the host key
+matches a specific fingerprint:
+@code{host_key_check=md5:78:45:8e:14:57:4f:d5:45:83:0a:0e:f3:49:82:c9:c8}
+(@code{sha1:} can also be used as a prefix, but note that OpenSSH
+tools only use MD5 to print fingerprints).
+
+Currently authentication must be done using ssh-agent. Other
+authentication methods may be supported in future.
+
+Note: Many ssh servers do not support an @code{fsync}-style operation.
+The ssh driver cannot guarantee that disk flush requests are
+obeyed, and this causes a risk of disk corruption if the remote
+server or network goes down during writes. The driver will
+print a warning when @code{fsync} is not supported:
+
+warning: ssh server @code{ssh.example.com:22} does not support fsync
+
+With sufficiently new versions of libssh2 and OpenSSH, @code{fsync} is

+@subsection Inter-VM Shared Memory device
+
+With KVM enabled on a Linux host, a shared memory device is available. Guests
+map a POSIX shared memory region into the guest as a PCI device that enables
+zero-copy communication to the application level of the guests. The basic
+syntax is:
+
+@example
+qemu-system-i386 -device ivshmem,size=<size in format accepted by -m>[,shm=<shm name>]
+@end example
+
+If desired, interrupts can be sent between guest VMs accessing the same shared
+memory region. Interrupt support requires using a shared memory server and
+using a chardev socket to connect to it. The code for the shared memory server
+is qemu.git/contrib/ivshmem-server. An example syntax when using the shared
+memory server is:
+
+@example
+qemu-system-i386 -device ivshmem,size=<size in format accepted by -m>[,chardev=<id>]
+ [,msi=on][,ioeventfd=on][,vectors=n][,role=peer|master]
+qemu-system-i386 -chardev socket,path=<path>,id=<id>
+@end example
+
+When using the server, the guest will be assigned a VM ID (>=0) that allows guests
+using the same server to communicate via interrupts. Guests can read their
+VM ID from a device register (see example code). Since receiving the shared
+memory region from the server is asynchronous, there is a (small) chance the
+guest may boot before the shared memory is attached. To allow an application
+to ensure shared memory is attached, the VM ID register will return -1 (an
+invalid VM ID) until the memory is attached. Once the shared memory is
+attached, the VM ID will return the guest's valid VM ID. With these semantics,
+the guest application can check to ensure the shared memory is attached to the
+guest before proceeding.
+
+The @option{role} argument can be set to either master or peer and will affect
+how the shared memory is migrated. With @option{role=master}, the guest will
+copy the shared memory on migration to the destination host. With
+@option{role=peer}, the guest will not be able to migrate with the device attached.
+With the @option{peer} case, the device should be detached and then reattached
+after migration using the PCI hotplug support.

@end example
Use @option{-kernel} to provide the Linux kernel image and
the virtual serial port and the QEMU monitor to the console with the
