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's ID, must be unique (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's ID, must be unique (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:

1350 -----------
1352 Atomically operate on one or more block devices. Operations that are
1353 currently supported:
1355 - drive-backup
1356 - blockdev-backup
1357 - blockdev-snapshot-sync
1358 - blockdev-snapshot-internal-sync
1359 - abort
1360 - block-dirty-bitmap-add
1361 - block-dirty-bitmap-clear
1363 Refer to the qemu/qapi-schema.json file for minimum required QEMU
1364 versions for these operations. A list of dictionaries is accepted,
1365 that contains the actions to be performed. If there is any failure
1366 performing any of the operations, all operations for the group are
1367 abandoned.
1369 For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1370 the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
1371 qcow2.
1373 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1374 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1375 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1376 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1377 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1378 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1380 On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1382 For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1383 name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1384 be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1385 and sheepdog.
1387 On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1388 transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1389 it later with qemu-img or other command.
1391 Arguments:
1393 actions array:
1394 - "type": the operation to perform (json-string). Possible
1395 values: "drive-backup", "blockdev-backup",

1397 "blockdev-snapshot-internal-sync",
1398 "abort", "block-dirty-bitmap-add",
1399 "block-dirty-bitmap-clear"
1400 - "data": a dictionary. The contents depend on the value
1401 of "type". When "type" is "blockdev-snapshot-sync":

1404 - "snapshot-file": name of new image file (json-string)

1565 -----------------
1566 Since 2.5
1568 Create a snapshot, by installing 'node' as the backing image of
1569 'overlay'. Additionally, if 'node' is associated with a block
1570 device, the block device changes to using 'overlay' as its new active
1571 image.
1573 Arguments:
1575 - "node": device that will have a snapshot created (json-string)
1576 - "overlay": device that will have 'node' as its backing image (json-string)

1793 QEMU to reopen the image file to reparse the backing filename (it may,
1794 however, perform a reopen to change permissions from r/o -> r/w -> r/o,
1795 if needed). The new backing file string is written into the image file
1796 metadata, and the QEMU internal strings are updated.
1798 Arguments:
1800 - "image-node-name": The name of the block driver state node of the
1801 image to modify. The "device" is argument is used to
1802 verify "image-node-name" is in the chain described by

2239 human-monitor-command
2240 ---------------------
2242 Execute a Human Monitor command.
2244 Arguments:
2246 - command-line: the command name and its arguments, just like the
2247 Human Monitor's shell (json-string)
2248 - cpu-index: select the CPU number to be used by commands which access CPU
2249 data, like 'info registers'. The Monitor selects CPU 0 if this
2250 argument is not provided (json-int, optional)
2252 Example:
2254 -> { "execute": "human-monitor-command", "arguments": { "command-line": "info kvm" } }
2255 <- { "return": "kvm support: enabled\r\n" }
2257 Notes:
2259 (1) The Human Monitor is NOT an stable interface, this means that command
2260 names, arguments and responses can change or be removed at ANY time.
2261 Applications that rely on long term stability guarantees should NOT
2262 use this command
2264 (2) Limitations:
2266 o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
2267 on state information (such as getfd) might not work
2269 o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block
2270 device is encrypted) don't currently work
2272 3. Query Commands

2275 HXCOMM Each query command below is inside a SQMP/EQMP section, do NOT change
2276 HXCOMM this! We will possibly move query commands definitions inside those
2277 HXCOMM sections, just like regular commands.

3556 actually occur during the iterative migration rounds
3557 themselves. (json-int)

3573 were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
3574 - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
3575 pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
3576 but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
3577 size (json-int)
3578 - "dirty-sync-count": times that dirty ram was synchronized (json-int)
3579 - "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
3580 it is a json-object with the following disk information:
3581 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3582 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
3583 - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
3584 - "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
3585 It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
3586 - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
3587 - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
3588 - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages

3590 - "cache-miss-rate": rate of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3591 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
3592 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
3593 whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
3594 normal page).
3596 Examples:
3598 1. Before the first migration

4219 ------------
4220 Since 2.5
4222 Deletes a block device thas has been added using blockdev-add.
4223 The selected device can be either a block backend or a graph node.
4225 In the former case the backend will be destroyed, along with its
4226 inserted medium if there's any. The command will fail if the backend
4227 or its medium are in use.
4229 In the latter case the node will be destroyed. The command will fail
4230 if the node is attached to a block backend or is otherwise being
4231 used.
4233 One of "id" or "node-name" must be specified, but not both.

4275 blockdev-open-tray
4276 ------------------
4278 Opens a block device's tray. If there is a block driver state tree inserted as a
4279 medium, it will become inaccessible to the guest (but it will remain associated
4280 to the block device, so closing the tray will make it accessible again).
4282 If the tray was already open before, this will be a no-op.
4284 Once the tray opens, a DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED event is emitted. There are cases in
4285 which no such event will be generated, these include:
4286 - if the guest has locked the tray, @force is false and the guest does not
4287 respond to the eject request
4288 - if the BlockBackend denoted by @device does not have a guest device attached
4289 to it
4290 - if the guest device does not have an actual tray and is empty, for instance
4291 for floppy disk drives
4293 Arguments:
4295 - "device": block device name (json-string)
4296 - "force": if false (the default), an eject request will be sent to the guest if
4297 it has locked the tray (and the tray will not be opened immediately);
4298 if true, the tray will be opened regardless of whether it is locked
4299 (json-bool, optional)

4358 x-blockdev-remove-medium
4359 ------------------------
4361 Removes a medium (a block driver state tree) from a block device. That block
4362 device's tray must currently be open (unless there is no attached guest device).
4364 If the tray is open and there is no medium inserted, this will be a no-op.
4366 This command is still a work in progress and is considered experimental.
4367 Stay away from it unless you want to help with its development.
4369 Arguments:

4446 x-blockdev-change
4447 -----------------
4449 Dynamically reconfigure the block driver state graph. It can be used
4450 to add, remove, insert or replace a graph node. Currently only the
4451 Quorum driver implements this feature to add or remove its child. This
4452 is useful to fix a broken quorum child.
4454 If @node is specified, it will be inserted under @parent. @child
4455 may not be specified in this case. If both @parent and @child are
4456 specified but @node is not, @child will be detached from @parent.
4458 Arguments:
4459 - "parent": the id or name of the parent node (json-string)
4460 - "child": the name of a child under the given parent node (json-string, optional)
4461 - "node": the name of the node that will be added (json-string, optional)
4463 Note: this command is experimental, and not a stable API. It doesn't
4464 support all kinds of operations, all kinds of children, nor all block
4465 drivers.
4467 Warning: The data in a new quorum child MUST be consistent with that of
4468 the rest of the array.
