   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.

 530 ringbuf-read
 531 -------------
 532

 542           - Naturally, format "utf8" works only when the ring buffer
 543             contains valid UTF-8 text.  Invalid UTF-8 sequences get
 544             replaced.  Bug: replacement doesn't work.  Bug: can screw
 545             up on encountering NUL characters, after the ring buffer
 546             lost data, and when reading stops because the size limit
 547             is reached.

1031                   obvious choice.  Care should be taken when specifying the

1063 - "base": The file name of the backing image to write data into.
1064           If not specified, this is the deepest backing image
1065           (json-string, optional)
1066 - "top":  The file name of the backing image within the image chain,
1067           which contains the topmost data to be committed down. If
1068           not specified, this is the active layer. (json-string, optional)
1069
1070 - backing-file:     The backing file string to write into the overlay
1071                     image of 'top'.  If 'top' is the active layer,
1072                     specifying a backing file string is an error. This
1073                     filename is not validated.
1074
1075                     If a pathname string is such that it cannot be
1076                     resolved by QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or
1077                     HMP commands must use node-names for the image in
1078                     question, as filename lookup methods will fail.
1079
1080                     If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine
1081                     the backing file string to use, or error out if
1082                     there is no obvious choice. Care should be taken
1083                     when specifying the string, to specify a valid
1084                     filename or protocol.
1085                     (json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)
1086
1087           If top == base, that is an error.
1088           If top == active, the job will not be completed by itself,
1089           user needs to complete the job with the block-job-complete
1090           command after getting the ready event. (Since 2.0)
1091
1092           If the base image is smaller than top, then the base image
1093           will be resized to be the same size as top.  If top is
1094           smaller than the base image, the base will not be
1095           truncated.  If you want the base image size to match the
1096           size of the smaller top, you can safely truncate it
1097           yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.

1121 Start a point-in-time copy of a block device to a new destination.  The
1122 status of ongoing drive-backup operations can be checked with
1123 query-block-jobs where the BlockJobInfo.type field has the value 'backup'.
1124 The operation can be stopped before it has completed using the
1125 block-job-cancel command.
1126
1127 Arguments:
1128
1129 - "device": the name of the device which should be copied.
1130             (json-string)
1131 - "target": the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is a
1132             device, the existing file/device will be used as the new
1133             destination.  If it does not exist, a new file will be created.
1134             (json-string)
1135 - "format": the format of the new destination, default is to probe if 'mode' is
1136             'existing', else the format of the source
1137             (json-string, optional)
1138 - "sync": what parts of the disk image should be copied to the destination;
1139   possibilities include "full" for all the disk, "top" for only the sectors
1140   allocated in the topmost image, "dirty-bitmap" for only the dirty sectors in
1141   the bitmap, or "none" to only replicate new I/O (MirrorSyncMode).
1142 - "bitmap": dirty bitmap name for sync==dirty-bitmap. Must be present if sync
1143             is "dirty-bitmap", must NOT be present otherwise.
1144 - "mode": whether and how QEMU should create a new image
1145           (NewImageMode, optional, default 'absolute-paths')
1146 - "speed": the maximum speed, in bytes per second (json-int, optional)
1147 - "on-source-error": the action to take on an error on the source, default
1148                      'report'.  'stop' and 'enospc' can only be used
1149                      if the block device supports io-status.

1238 transaction
1239 -----------
1240
1241 Atomically operate on one or more block devices.  The only supported operations
1242 for now are drive-backup, internal and external snapshotting.  A list of
1243 dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
1244 If there is any failure performing any of the operations, all operations
1245 for the group are abandoned.
1246
1247 For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1248 the new snapshot, and the format.  The default format, if not specified, is
1249 qcow2.
1250
1251 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1252 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1253 an externally-created file.  In the latter case, you should ensure that
1254 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1255 perform any meaningful check.  Typically this is achieved by using the
1256 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1257
1258 On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1259
1260 For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1261 name.  If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1262 be rejected.  Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1263 and sheepdog.
1264
1265 On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1266 transaction.  When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1267 it later with qemu-img or other command.
1268
1269 Arguments:

1512 ------------
1513
1514 Start mirroring a block device's writes to a new destination. target
1515 specifies the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is
1516 a device, it will be used as the new destination for writes. If it does not
1517 exist, a new file will be created. format specifies the format of the
1518 mirror image, default is to probe if mode='existing', else the format
1519 of the source.
1520
1521 Arguments:
1522
1523 - "device": device name to operate on (json-string)
1524 - "target": name of new image file (json-string)
1525 - "format": format of new image (json-string, optional)
1526 - "node-name": the name of the new block driver state in the node graph
1527                (json-string, optional)
1528 - "replaces": the block driver node name to replace when finished
1529               (json-string, optional)
1530 - "mode": how an image file should be created into the target
1531   file/device (NewImageMode, optional, default 'absolute-paths')
1532 - "speed": maximum speed of the streaming job, in bytes per second
1533   (json-int)
1534 - "granularity": granularity of the dirty bitmap, in bytes (json-int, optional)
1535 - "buf_size": maximum amount of data in flight from source to target, in bytes
1536   (json-int, default 10M)
1537 - "sync": what parts of the disk image should be copied to the destination;
1538   possibilities include "full" for all the disk, "top" for only the sectors
1539   allocated in the topmost image, or "none" to only replicate new I/O
1540   (MirrorSyncMode).
1541 - "on-source-error": the action to take on an error on the source
1542   (BlockdevOnError, default 'report')
1543 - "on-target-error": the action to take on an error on the target
1544   (BlockdevOnError, default 'report')
1545
1546 The default value of the granularity is the image cluster size clamped
1547 between 4096 and 65536, if the image format defines one.  If the format
1548 does not define a cluster size, the default value of the granularity
1549 is 65536.

1570 -------------------
1571 Since: 2.1
1572
1573 Change the backing file in the image file metadata.  This does not cause
1574 QEMU to reopen the image file to reparse the backing filename (it may,
1575 however, perform a reopen to change permissions from r/o -> r/w -> r/o,
1576 if needed). The new backing file string is written into the image file
1577 metadata, and the QEMU internal strings are updated.
1578
1579 Arguments:
1580
1581 - "image-node-name":    The name of the block driver state node of the
1582                         image to modify.  The "device" is argument is used to
1583                         verify "image-node-name" is in the chain described by
1584                         "device".
1585                         (json-string, optional)
1586
1587 - "device":             The name of the device.
1588                         (json-string)
1589
1590 - "backing-file":       The string to write as the backing file.  This string is
1591                         not validated, so care should be taken when specifying
1592                         the string or the image chain may not be able to be
1593                         reopened again.

2030 Notes:
2031
2032 (1) The Human Monitor is NOT an stable interface, this means that command
2033     names, arguments and responses can change or be removed at ANY time.
2034     Applications that rely on long term stability guarantees should NOT
2035     use this command
2036
2037 (2) Limitations:
2038
2039     o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
2040       on state information (such as getfd) might not work
2041
2042     o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block
2043       device is encrypted) don't currently work
2044

3222
3223 Return a json-object. If migration is active there will be another json-object
3224 with RAM migration status and if block migration is active another one with
3225 block migration status.
3226
3227 The main json-object contains the following:
3228
3229 - "status": migration status (json-string)
3230      - Possible values: "setup", "active", "completed", "failed", "cancelled"
3231 - "total-time": total amount of ms since migration started.  If
3232                 migration has ended, it returns the total migration
3233                 time (json-int)
3234 - "setup-time" amount of setup time in milliseconds _before_ the
3235                iterations begin but _after_ the QMP command is issued.
3236                This is designed to provide an accounting of any activities
3237                (such as RDMA pinning) which may be expensive, but do not
3238                actually occur during the iterative migration rounds
3239                themselves. (json-int)
3240 - "downtime": only present when migration has finished correctly
3241               total amount in ms for downtime that happened (json-int)
3242 - "expected-downtime": only present while migration is active
3243                 total amount in ms for downtime that was calculated on
3244                 the last bitmap round (json-int)
3245 - "ram": only present if "status" is "active", it is a json-object with the
3246   following RAM information:
3247          - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3248          - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes (json-int)
3249          - "total": total amount of memory in bytes (json-int)
3250          - "duplicate": number of pages filled entirely with the same
3251             byte (json-int)
3252             These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.
3253          - "skipped": number of skipped zero pages (json-int)
3254          - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred.  I.e. they
3255             were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
3256          - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
3257             pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
3258             but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
3259             size (json-int)
3260          - "dirty-sync-count": times that dirty ram was synchronized (json-int)
3261 - "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
3262   it is a json-object with the following disk information:
3263          - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3264          - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
3265          - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
3266 - "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
3267   It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
3268          - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
3269          - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
3270          - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
3271          - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3272          - "cache-miss-rate": rate of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3273          - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows.  This means
3274            that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
3275            whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
3276            normal page).
