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.

544 up on encountering NUL characters, after the ring buffer
545 lost data, and when reading stops because the size limit
546 is reached.

948 -----------
950 Atomically operate on one or more block devices. The only supported
951 operation for now is snapshotting. If there is any failure performing
952 any of the operations, all snapshots for the group are abandoned, and
953 the original disks pre-snapshot attempt are used.
955 A list of dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
956 For snapshots this is the device, the file to use for the new snapshot,
957 and the format. The default format, if not specified, is qcow2.
959 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
960 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
961 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
962 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
963 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
964 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
966 Arguments:
968 actions array:
969 - "type": the operation to perform. The only supported
970 value is "blockdev-snapshot-sync". (json-string)
971 - "data": a dictionary. The contents depend on the value
972 of "type". When "type" is "blockdev-snapshot-sync":
973 - "device": device name to snapshot (json-string)
974 - "snapshot-file": name of new image file (json-string)
975 - "format": format of new image (json-string, optional)
976 - "mode": whether and how QEMU should create the snapshot file
977 (NewImageMode, optional, default "absolute-paths")
979 Example:

1002 ----------------------

1005 target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is a device, the
1006 snapshot will be created in the existing file/device. If does not
1007 exist, a new file will be created. format specifies the format of the
1008 snapshot image, default is qcow2.
1010 Arguments:
1012 - "device": device name to snapshot (json-string)
1013 - "snapshot-file": name of new image file (json-string)

1038 ------------
1040 Start mirroring a block device's writes to a new destination. target
1041 specifies the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is
1042 a device, it will be used as the new destination for writes. If it does not
1043 exist, a new file will be created. format specifies the format of the
1044 mirror image, default is to probe if mode='existing', else the format
1045 of the source.
1047 Arguments:
1049 - "device": device name to operate on (json-string)
1050 - "target": name of new image file (json-string)

1057 - "buf_size": maximum amount of data in flight from source to target, in bytes
1058 (json-int, default 10M)
1059 - "sync": what parts of the disk image should be copied to the destination;
1060 possibilities include "full" for all the disk, "top" for only the sectors
1061 allocated in the topmost image, or "none" to only replicate new I/O
1062 (MirrorSyncMode).
1063 - "on-source-error": the action to take on an error on the source
1064 (BlockdevOnError, default 'report')
1065 - "on-target-error": the action to take on an error on the target
1066 (BlockdevOnError, default 'report')
1068 The default value of the granularity is the image cluster size clamped
1069 between 4096 and 65536, if the image format defines one. If the format
1070 does not define a cluster size, the default value of the granularity
1071 is 65536.

2557 Migration status.
2559 Return a json-object. If migration is active there will be another json-object

2561 block migration status.
2563 The main json-object contains the following:
2565 - "status": migration status (json-string)
2566 - Possible values: "active", "completed", "failed", "cancelled"
2567 - "total-time": total amount of ms since migration started. If
2568 migration has ended, it returns the total migration
2569 time (json-int)
2570 - "downtime": only present when migration has finished correctly
2571 total amount in ms for downtime that happened (json-int)
2572 - "expected-downtime": only present while migration is active
2573 total amount in ms for downtime that was calculated on
2574 the last bitmap round (json-int)
2575 - "ram": only present if "status" is "active", it is a json-object with the
2576 following RAM information:
2577 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
2578 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes (json-int)
2579 - "total": total amount of memory in bytes (json-int)

2581 byte (json-int)
2582 These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.

2584 - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred. I.e. they
2585 were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
2586 - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
2587 pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
2588 but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
2589 size (json-int)
2590 - "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
2591 it is a json-object with the following disk information:
2592 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
2593 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
2594 - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
2595 - "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
2596 It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
2597 - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
2598 - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
2599 - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
2600 - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
2601 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
2602 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
2603 whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
2604 normal page).
