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.

1115 ------------
1117 Copy data from a backing file into a block device.
1119 Arguments:
1121 - "job-id": Identifier for the newly-created block job. If omitted,
1122 the device name will be used. (json-string, optional)
1123 - "device": The device name or node-name of a root node (json-string)
1124 - "base": The file name of the backing image above which copying starts
1125 (json-string, optional)
1126 - "backing-file": The backing file string to write into the active layer. This
1127 filename is not validated.
1129 If a pathname string is such that it cannot be resolved by
1130 QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or HMP commands must use
1131 node-names for the image in question, as filename lookup
1132 methods will fail.
1134 If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine the
1135 backing file string to use, or error out if there is no
1136 obvious choice. Care should be taken when specifying the
1137 string, to specify a valid filename or protocol.
1138 (json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)
1139 - "speed": the maximum speed, in bytes per second (json-int, optional)
1140 - "on-error": the action to take on an error (default 'report'). 'stop' and

1160 ------------
1162 Live commit of data from overlay image nodes into backing nodes - i.e., writes
1163 data between 'top' and 'base' into 'base'.
1165 Arguments:
1167 - "job-id": Identifier for the newly-created block job. If omitted,
1168 the device name will be used. (json-string, optional)
1169 - "device": The device name or node-name of a root node (json-string)
1170 - "base": The file name of the backing image to write data into.
1171 If not specified, this is the deepest backing image
1172 (json-string, optional)
1173 - "top": The file name of the backing image within the image chain,
1174 which contains the topmost data to be committed down. If
1175 not specified, this is the active layer. (json-string, optional)
1177 - backing-file: The backing file string to write into the overlay
1178 image of 'top'. If 'top' is the active layer,
1179 specifying a backing file string is an error. This
1180 filename is not validated.
1182 If a pathname string is such that it cannot be
1183 resolved by QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or
1184 HMP commands must use node-names for the image in
1185 question, as filename lookup methods will fail.
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
1191 filename or protocol.
1192 (json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)
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)
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
1204 yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.
1205 (json-string)
1206 - "speed": the maximum speed, in bytes per second (json-int, optional)
1209 Example:

1239 - "device": the device name or node-name of a root node which should be copied.
1240 (json-string)
1241 - "target": the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is a

1243 destination. If it does not exist, a new file will be created.
1244 (json-string)
1245 - "format": the format of the new destination, default is to probe if 'mode' is
1246 'existing', else the format of the source
1247 (json-string, optional)
1248 - "sync": what parts of the disk image should be copied to the destination;
1249 possibilities include "full" for all the disk, "top" for only the sectors
1250 allocated in the topmost image, "incremental" for only the dirty sectors in
1251 the bitmap, or "none" to only replicate new I/O (MirrorSyncMode).
1252 - "bitmap": dirty bitmap name for sync==incremental. Must be present if sync
1253 is "incremental", must NOT be present otherwise.

1258 (json-bool, optional, default false)
1259 - "on-source-error": the action to take on an error on the source, default
1260 'report'. 'stop' and 'enospc' can only be used
1261 if the block device supports io-status.
1262 (BlockdevOnError, optional)
1263 - "on-target-error": the action to take on an error on the target, default
1264 'report' (no limitations, since this applies to
1265 a different block device than device).

1354 transaction
1355 -----------
1357 Atomically operate on one or more block devices. Operations that are
1358 currently supported:
1360 - drive-backup
1361 - blockdev-backup
1362 - blockdev-snapshot-sync
1363 - blockdev-snapshot-internal-sync
1364 - abort
1365 - block-dirty-bitmap-add
1366 - block-dirty-bitmap-clear
1368 Refer to the qemu/qapi-schema.json file for minimum required QEMU
1369 versions for these operations. A list of dictionaries is accepted,
1370 that contains the actions to be performed. If there is any failure
1371 performing any of the operations, all operations for the group are
1372 abandoned.
1374 For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1375 the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
1376 qcow2.
1378 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1379 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1380 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1381 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1382 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1383 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1385 On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1387 For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1388 name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1389 be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1390 and sheepdog.
1392 On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1393 transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1394 it later with qemu-img or other command.
1396 Arguments:
1398 actions array:
1399 - "type": the operation to perform (json-string). Possible
1400 values: "drive-backup", "blockdev-backup",

1801 Change the backing file in the image file metadata. This does not cause
1802 QEMU to reopen the image file to reparse the backing filename (it may,
1803 however, perform a reopen to change permissions from r/o -> r/w -> r/o,
1804 if needed). The new backing file string is written into the image file
1805 metadata, and the QEMU internal strings are updated.
1807 Arguments:
1809 - "image-node-name": The name of the block driver state node of the
1810 image to modify. The "device" is argument is used to
1811 verify "image-node-name" is in the chain described by

2249 human-monitor-command
2250 ---------------------
2252 Execute a Human Monitor command.
2254 Arguments:
2256 - command-line: the command name and its arguments, just like the
2257 Human Monitor's shell (json-string)
2258 - cpu-index: select the CPU number to be used by commands which access CPU
2259 data, like 'info registers'. The Monitor selects CPU 0 if this
2260 argument is not provided (json-int, optional)
2262 Example:
2264 -> { "execute": "human-monitor-command", "arguments": { "command-line": "info kvm" } }
2265 <- { "return": "kvm support: enabled\r\n" }
2267 Notes:
2269 (1) The Human Monitor is NOT an stable interface, this means that command
2270 names, arguments and responses can change or be removed at ANY time.
2271 Applications that rely on long term stability guarantees should NOT
2272 use this command
2274 (2) Limitations:
2276 o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
2277 on state information (such as getfd) might not work
2279 o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block
2280 device is encrypted) don't currently work
2282 3. Query Commands

2286 HXCOMM this! We will possibly move query commands definitions inside those
2287 HXCOMM sections, just like regular commands.

4247 ------------
4248 Since 2.5
4250 Deletes a block device thas has been added using blockdev-add.
4251 The selected device can be either a block backend or a graph node.
4253 In the former case the backend will be destroyed, along with its
4254 inserted medium if there's any. The command will fail if the backend
4255 or its medium are in use.
4257 In the latter case the node will be destroyed. The command will fail
4258 if the node is attached to a block backend or is otherwise being
4259 used.
4261 One of "id" or "node-name" must be specified, but not both.
4263 This command is still a work in progress and is considered

4303 blockdev-open-tray
4304 ------------------
4306 Opens a block device's tray. If there is a block driver state tree inserted as a
4307 medium, it will become inaccessible to the guest (but it will remain associated
4308 to the block device, so closing the tray will make it accessible again).
4310 If the tray was already open before, this will be a no-op.
4312 Once the tray opens, a DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED event is emitted. There are cases in
4313 which no such event will be generated, these include:
4314 - if the guest has locked the tray, @force is false and the guest does not
4315 respond to the eject request
4316 - if the BlockBackend denoted by @device does not have a guest device attached
4317 to it
4318 - if the guest device does not have an actual tray and is empty, for instance
4319 for floppy disk drives
4321 Arguments:
4323 - "device": block device name (json-string)
4324 - "force": if false (the default), an eject request will be sent to the guest if
4325 it has locked the tray (and the tray will not be opened immediately);
4326 if true, the tray will be opened regardless of whether it is locked
4327 (json-bool, optional)

4351 blockdev-close-tray
4352 -------------------
4354 Closes a block device's tray. If there is a block driver state tree associated
4355 with the block device (which is currently ejected), that tree will be loaded as
4356 the medium.
4358 If the tray was already closed before, this will be a no-op.

4474 x-blockdev-change
4475 -----------------
4477 Dynamically reconfigure the block driver state graph. It can be used
4478 to add, remove, insert or replace a graph node. Currently only the
4479 Quorum driver implements this feature to add or remove its child. This
4480 is useful to fix a broken quorum child.
4482 If @node is specified, it will be inserted under @parent. @child
4483 may not be specified in this case. If both @parent and @child are
4484 specified but @node is not, @child will be detached from @parent.
4486 Arguments:
4487 - "parent": the id or name of the parent node (json-string)
4488 - "child": the name of a child under the given parent node (json-string, optional)
4489 - "node": the name of the node that will be added (json-string, optional)
4491 Note: this command is experimental, and not a stable API. It doesn't
4492 support all kinds of operations, all kinds of children, nor all block
4493 drivers.
4495 Warning: The data in a new quorum child MUST be consistent with that of
4496 the rest of the array.

4793 changed (json-bool, optional).
4794 - "vcpu": The vCPU to act upon, all vCPUs by default (json-int, optional).
4796 An event's state is modified if:
4797 - its name matches the "name" pattern, and
4798 - if "vcpu" is given, the event has the "vcpu" property.
