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
c20cdf8b 45 1. The deprecation policy will take effect and be documented soon, please
82a56f0d
LC
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.

1187 If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine
1188 the backing file string to use, or error out if
1189 there is no obvious choice. Care should be taken
1190 when specifying the string, to specify a valid

1194 If top == base, that is an error.
1195 If top == active, the job will not be completed by itself,
1196 user needs to complete the job with the block-job-complete
1197 command after getting the ready event. (Since 2.0)
1198
1199 If the base image is smaller than top, then the base image
1200 will be resized to be the same size as top. If top is
1201 smaller than the base image, the base will not be
1202 truncated. If you want the base image size to match the
1203 size of the smaller top, you can safely truncate it

1358 - blockdev-snapshot-internal-sync
1359 - abort
1360 - block-dirty-bitmap-add
1361 - block-dirty-bitmap-clear
1362
1363Refer to the qemu/qapi-schema.json file for minimum required QEMU
1364versions for these operations. A list of dictionaries is accepted,
1365that contains the actions to be performed. If there is any failure
1366performing any of the operations, all operations for the group are
1367abandoned.

1369For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1370the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
1371qcow2.

1373Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1374contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1375an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1376the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1377perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1378current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1379
bbe86010
WX
1380On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1381
1382For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1383name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1384be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1385and sheepdog.
1386
1387On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1388transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1389it later with qemu-img or other command.

1792Change the backing file in the image file metadata. This does not cause
1793QEMU to reopen the image file to reparse the backing filename (it may,
1794however, perform a reopen to change permissions from r/o -> r/w -> r/o,
1795if needed). The new backing file string is written into the image file
1796metadata, and the QEMU internal strings are updated.
1797
1798Arguments:
1799
1800- "image-node-name": The name of the block driver state node of the
1801 image to modify. The "device" is argument is used to
1802 verify "image-node-name" is in the chain described by
1803 "device".

2257Notes:
2258
2259(1) The Human Monitor is NOT an stable interface, this means that command
2260 names, arguments and responses can change or be removed at ANY time.
2261 Applications that rely on long term stability guarantees should NOT
2262 use this command
2263
2264(2) Limitations:
2265
2266 o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
2267 on state information (such as getfd) might not work
2268
2269 o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block
2270 device is encrypted) don't currently work

4218x-blockdev-del
4219------------
4220Since 2.5
4221
4222Deletes a block device thas has been added using blockdev-add.
4223The selected device can be either a block backend or a graph node.
4224
4225In the former case the backend will be destroyed, along with its
4226inserted medium if there's any. The command will fail if the backend
4227or its medium are in use.
4228
4229In the latter case the node will be destroyed. The command will fail
4230if the node is attached to a block backend or is otherwise being
4231used.
4232
4233One of "id" or "node-name" must be specified, but not both.
4234
4235This command is still a work in progress and is considered
4236experimental. Stay away from it unless you want to help with its
4237development.

4276------------------
4277
4278Opens a block device's tray. If there is a block driver state tree inserted as a
4279medium, it will become inaccessible to the guest (but it will remain associated
4280to the block device, so closing the tray will make it accessible again).
4281
4282If the tray was already open before, this will be a no-op.
4283
4284Once the tray opens, a DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED event is emitted. There are cases in
4285which no such event will be generated, these include:
4286- if the guest has locked the tray, @force is false and the guest does not
4287 respond to the eject request
4288- if the BlockBackend denoted by @device does not have a guest device attached
4289 to it
4290- if the guest device does not have an actual tray and is empty, for instance
4291 for floppy disk drives
4292
4293Arguments:
4294
4295- "device": block device name (json-string)
4296- "force": if false (the default), an eject request will be sent to the guest if
4297 it has locked the tray (and the tray will not be opened immediately);

4452is useful to fix a broken quorum child.
4453
4454If @node is specified, it will be inserted under @parent. @child
4455may not be specified in this case. If both @parent and @child are
4456specified but @node is not, @child will be detached from @parent.

4756---------------------
4757
4758Set the state of events.
4759
77e2b172
LV
4760Arguments:
4761
4762- "name": Event name pattern (json-string).
4763- "enable": Whether to enable or disable the event (json-bool).
4764- "ignore-unavailable": Whether to ignore errors for events that cannot be
4765 changed (json-bool, optional).
4766- "vcpu": The vCPU to act upon, all vCPUs by default (json-int, optional).
4767
4768An event's state is modified if:
4769- its name matches the "name" pattern, and
4770- if "vcpu" is given, the event has the "vcpu" property.
4771
4772Therefore, if "vcpu" is given, the operation will only match per-vCPU events,
4773setting their state on the specified vCPU. Special case: if "name" is an exact
4774match, "vcpu" is given and the event does not have the "vcpu" property, an error
4775is returned.
