6 QMP Supported Commands
7 ----------------------
9 This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
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.
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.
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.
23 Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
25 -> data issued by the Client
26 <- Server data response
28 Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
29 information on the Server command and response formats.
31 NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.
33 1. Stability Considerations
34 ===========================
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.
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.
43 If you're planning to adopt QMP, please observe the following:
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
49 2. DO NOT rely on anything which is not explicit documented
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)
55 2. Regular Commands
56 ===================
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.

1044 - "base": The file name of the backing image above which copying starts
1045 (json-string, optional)
1046 - "backing-file": The backing file string to write into the active layer. This
1047 filename is not validated.
1049 If a pathname string is such that it cannot be resolved by
1050 QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or HMP commands must use
1051 node-names for the image in question, as filename lookup
1052 methods will fail.
1054 If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine the
1055 backing file string to use, or error out if there is no

1085 Arguments:
1087 - "device": The device's ID, must be unique (json-string)
1088 - "base": The file name of the backing image to write data into.
1089 If not specified, this is the deepest backing image
1090 (json-string, optional)
1091 - "top": The file name of the backing image within the image chain,
1092 which contains the topmost data to be committed down. If
1093 not specified, this is the active layer. (json-string, optional)
1095 - backing-file: The backing file string to write into the overlay
1096 image of 'top'. If 'top' is the active layer,
1097 specifying a backing file string is an error. This
1098 filename is not validated.
1100 If a pathname string is such that it cannot be
1101 resolved by QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or
1102 HMP commands must use node-names for the image in
1103 question, as filename lookup methods will fail.
1105 If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine
1106 the backing file string to use, or error out if
1107 there is no obvious choice. Care should be taken
1108 when specifying the string, to specify a valid
1109 filename or protocol.
1110 (json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)
1112 If top == base, that is an error.
1113 If top == active, the job will not be completed by itself,
1114 user needs to complete the job with the block-job-complete
1115 command after getting the ready event. (Since 2.0)
1117 If the base image is smaller than top, then the base image
1118 will be resized to be the same size as top. If top is
1119 smaller than the base image, the base will not be
1120 truncated. If you want the base image size to match the
1121 size of the smaller top, you can safely truncate it
1122 yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.
1123 (json-string)

1263 transaction
1264 -----------
1266 Atomically operate on one or more block devices. The only supported operations
1267 for now are drive-backup, internal and external snapshotting. A list of
1268 dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
1269 If there is any failure performing any of the operations, all operations
1270 for the group are abandoned.
1272 For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1273 the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
1274 qcow2.
1276 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1277 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1278 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1279 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1280 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1281 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1283 On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1285 For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1286 name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1287 be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1288 and sheepdog.
1290 On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1291 transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1292 it later with qemu-img or other command.
1294 Arguments:
1296 actions array:
1297 - "type": the operation to perform. The only supported
1298 value is "blockdev-snapshot-sync". (json-string)
1299 - "data": a dictionary. The contents depend on the value
1300 of "type". When "type" is "blockdev-snapshot-sync":
1301 - "device": device name to snapshot (json-string)
1302 - "node-name": graph node name to snapshot (json-string)
1303 - "snapshot-file": name of new image file (json-string)

1598 -------------------
1599 Since: 2.1
1601 Change the backing file in the image file metadata. This does not cause
1602 QEMU to reopen the image file to reparse the backing filename (it may,
1603 however, perform a reopen to change permissions from r/o -> r/w -> r/o,
1604 if needed). The new backing file string is written into the image file
1605 metadata, and the QEMU internal strings are updated.
1607 Arguments:
1609 - "image-node-name": The name of the block driver state node of the
1610 image to modify. The "device" is argument is used to
1611 verify "image-node-name" is in the chain described by
1612 "device".
1613 (json-string, optional)
1615 - "device": The name of the device.
1616 (json-string)
1618 - "backing-file": The string to write as the backing file. This string is
1619 not validated, so care should be taken when specifying
1620 the string or the image chain may not be able to be
1621 reopened again.

3256 The main json-object contains the following:
3258 - "status": migration status (json-string)
3259 - Possible values: "setup", "active", "completed", "failed", "cancelled"
3260 - "total-time": total amount of ms since migration started. If
3261 migration has ended, it returns the total migration
3262 time (json-int)
3263 - "setup-time" amount of setup time in milliseconds _before_ the
3264 iterations begin but _after_ the QMP command is issued.
3265 This is designed to provide an accounting of any activities
3266 (such as RDMA pinning) which may be expensive, but do not
3267 actually occur during the iterative migration rounds
3268 themselves. (json-int)
3269 - "downtime": only present when migration has finished correctly
3270 total amount in ms for downtime that happened (json-int)

3272 total amount in ms for downtime that was calculated on
3273 the last bitmap round (json-int)
3274 - "ram": only present if "status" is "active", it is a json-object with the
3275 following RAM information:
3276 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3277 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes (json-int)
3278 - "total": total amount of memory in bytes (json-int)
3279 - "duplicate": number of pages filled entirely with the same
3280 byte (json-int)
3281 These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.
3282 - "skipped": number of skipped zero pages (json-int)
3283 - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred. I.e. they
3284 were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
3285 - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
3286 pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
3287 but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
3288 size (json-int)
3289 - "dirty-sync-count": times that dirty ram was synchronized (json-int)
3290 - "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
3291 it is a json-object with the following disk information:
3292 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3293 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
3294 - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
3295 - "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
3296 It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
3297 - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
3298 - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
3299 - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
3300 - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3301 - "cache-miss-rate": rate of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3302 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
3303 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
3304 whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
3305 normal page).
