1 HXCOMM QMP dispatch table and documentation
2 HXCOMM Text between SQMP and EQMP is copied to the QMP documention file and
3 HXCOMM does not show up
in the other formats
.
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
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)
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
.

1097 dictionaries is accepted
, that contains the actions to be performed
.

, all operations
1099 for the group are abandoned
.

1105 Each
new snapshot defaults to being created by
QEMU (wiping any
1106 contents
if the file already exists
), but it is also possible to reuse
1107 an externally
-created file
. In the latter
case, you should ensure that
1108 the
new image file has the same contents as the current one
; QEMU cannot
1109 perform any meaningful check
. Typically
this is achieved by
using the
1110 current image file as the backing file
for the
new image
.
1112 On failure
, the original disks pre
-snapshot attempt will be used
.
1114 For internal snapshots
, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot
's
1115 name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1116 be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1119 On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1120 transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1121 it later with qemu-img or other command.

2837 - Possible values: "active", "completed", "failed", "cancelled"
2838 - "total-time": total amount of ms since migration started. If
2839 migration has ended, it returns the total migration
2841 - "setup-time" amount of setup time in milliseconds _before_ the
2842 iterations begin but _after_ the QMP command is issued.
2843 This is designed to provide an accounting of any activities
2844 (such as RDMA pinning) which may be expensive, but do not
2845 actually occur during the iterative migration rounds
2846 themselves. (json-int)
2847 - "downtime": only present when migration has finished correctly
2848 total amount in ms for downtime that happened (json-int)
2849 - "expected-downtime": only present while migration is active
2850 total amount in ms for downtime that was calculated on
2851 the last bitmap round (json-int)
2852 - "ram": only present if "status" is "active", it is a json-object with the
2853 following RAM information:
2854 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
2855 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes (json-int)
2856 - "total": total amount of memory in bytes (json-int)
2857 - "duplicate": number of pages filled entirely with the same
2859 These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.
2860 - "skipped": number of skipped zero pages (json-int)
2861 - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred. I.e. they
2862 were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
2863 - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
2864 pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
2865 but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
2867 - "disk": only present
if "status" is
"active" and it is a block migration
,
2868 it is a json
-object with the following disk information
:
2869 - "transferred": amount transferred
in bytes (json
-int
)
2870 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer
in bytes json
-int
)
2871 - "total": total disk size
in bytes (json
-int
)
2872 - "xbzrle-cache": only present
if XBZRLE is active
.
2873 It is a json
-object with the following XBZRLE information
:
2874 - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size
in bytes
2875 - "bytes": number of bytes transferred
for XBZRLE compressed pages
2876 - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
2877 - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
2878 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows
. This means
2879 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
2880 whole page
, and then we sent the whole page
