   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.

 550             up on encountering NUL characters, after the ring buffer
 551             lost data, and when reading stops because the size limit
 552             is reached.

1120
1121 - backing-file:     The backing file string to write into the overlay
1122                     image of 'top'.  If 'top' is the active layer,
1123                     specifying a backing file string is an error. This

1132                     the backing file string to use, or error out if
1133                     there is no obvious choice. Care should be taken
1134                     when specifying the string, to specify a valid
1135                     filename or protocol.

1138           If top == base, that is an error.
1139           If top == active, the job will not be completed by itself,
1140           user needs to complete the job with the block-job-complete
1141           command after getting the ready event. (Since 2.0)
1142
1143           If the base image is smaller than top, then the base image
1144           will be resized to be the same size as top.  If top is
1145           smaller than the base image, the base will not be
1146           truncated.  If you want the base image size to match the
1147           size of the smaller top, you can safely truncate it
1148           yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.

1185             (json-string)
1186 - "format": the format of the new destination, default is to probe if 'mode' is

1291
1292 Atomically operate on one or more block devices.  Operations that are
1293 currently supported:
1294
1295     - drive-backup
1296     - blockdev-backup
1297     - blockdev-snapshot-sync
1298     - blockdev-snapshot-internal-sync
1299     - abort
1300     - block-dirty-bitmap-add
1301     - block-dirty-bitmap-clear
1302
1303 Refer to the qemu/qapi-schema.json file for minimum required QEMU
1304 versions for these operations.  A list of dictionaries is accepted,
1305 that contains the actions to be performed.  If there is any failure
1306 performing any of the operations, all operations for the group are
1307 abandoned.
1308
1309 For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1310 the new snapshot, and the format.  The default format, if not specified, is
1311 qcow2.
1312
1313 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1314 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1315 an externally-created file.  In the latter case, you should ensure that
1316 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1317 perform any meaningful check.  Typically this is achieved by using the
1318 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1319
1320 On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1321
1322 For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1323 name.  If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1324 be rejected.  Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1325 and sheepdog.
1326
1327 On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1328 transaction.  When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1329 it later with qemu-img or other command.

1508 Create a snapshot, by installing 'node' as the backing image of
1509 'overlay'. Additionally, if 'node' is associated with a block
1510 device, the block device changes to using 'overlay' as its new active
1511 image.

1617 ------------
1618
1619 Start mirroring a block device's writes to a new destination. target
1620 specifies the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is
1621 a device, it will be used as the new destination for writes. If it does not
1622 exist, a new file will be created. format specifies the format of the
1623 mirror image, default is to probe if mode='existing', else the format
1624 of the source.
1625
1626 Arguments:
1627
1628 - "device": device name to operate on (json-string)
1629 - "target": name of new image file (json-string)
1630 - "format": format of new image (json-string, optional)
1631 - "node-name": the name of the new block driver state in the node graph

1633 - "replaces": the block driver node name to replace when finished
1634               (json-string, optional)
1635 - "mode": how an image file should be created into the target
1636   file/device (NewImageMode, optional, default 'absolute-paths')
1637 - "speed": maximum speed of the streaming job, in bytes per second
1638   (json-int)
1639 - "granularity": granularity of the dirty bitmap, in bytes (json-int, optional)
1640 - "buf_size": maximum amount of data in flight from source to target, in bytes
1641   (json-int, default 10M)
1642 - "sync": what parts of the disk image should be copied to the destination;
1643   possibilities include "full" for all the disk, "top" for only the sectors
1644   allocated in the topmost image, or "none" to only replicate new I/O
1645   (MirrorSyncMode).
1646 - "on-source-error": the action to take on an error on the source
1647   (BlockdevOnError, default 'report')

1650 - "unmap": whether the target sectors should be discarded where source has only
1651   zeroes. (json-bool, optional, default true)
1652
1653 The default value of the granularity is the image cluster size clamped
1654 between 4096 and 65536, if the image format defines one.  If the format
1655 does not define a cluster size, the default value of the granularity
1656 is 65536.

1681 QEMU to reopen the image file to reparse the backing filename (it may,
1682 however, perform a reopen to change permissions from r/o -> r/w -> r/o,
1683 if needed). The new backing file string is written into the image file
1684 metadata, and the QEMU internal strings are updated.

1697 - "backing-file":       The string to write as the backing file.  This string is
1698                         not validated, so care should be taken when specifying
1699                         the string or the image chain may not be able to be

2138 Notes:
2139
2140 (1) The Human Monitor is NOT an stable interface, this means that command
2141     names, arguments and responses can change or be removed at ANY time.
2142     Applications that rely on long term stability guarantees should NOT
2143     use this command
2144
2145 (2) Limitations:
2146
2147     o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
2148       on state information (such as getfd) might not work
2149
2150     o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block
2151       device is encrypted) don't currently work

3428                 time (json-int)
3429 - "setup-time" amount of setup time in milliseconds _before_ the
3430                iterations begin but _after_ the QMP command is issued.
3431                This is designed to provide an accounting of any activities
3432                (such as RDMA pinning) which may be expensive, but do not
3433                actually occur during the iterative migration rounds
3434                themselves. (json-int)
3435 - "downtime": only present when migration has finished correctly
3436               total amount in ms for downtime that happened (json-int)
3437 - "expected-downtime": only present while migration is active
3438                 total amount in ms for downtime that was calculated on
3439                 the last bitmap round (json-int)
3440 - "ram": only present if "status" is "active", it is a json-object with the
3441   following RAM information:
3442          - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3443          - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes (json-int)
3444          - "total": total amount of memory in bytes (json-int)
3445          - "duplicate": number of pages filled entirely with the same
3446             byte (json-int)
3447             These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.
3448          - "skipped": number of skipped zero pages (json-int)
3449          - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred.  I.e. they
3450             were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
3451          - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
3452             pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
3453             but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
3454             size (json-int)
3455          - "dirty-sync-count": times that dirty ram was synchronized (json-int)
3456 - "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
3457   it is a json-object with the following disk information:
3458          - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3459          - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
3460          - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
3461 - "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
3462   It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
3463          - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
3464          - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
3465          - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
3466          - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3467          - "cache-miss-rate": rate of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3468          - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows.  This means
3469            that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
3470            whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
3471            normal page).

4073 ------------
4074 Since 2.5
4075
4076 Deletes a block device thas has been added using blockdev-add.
4077 The selected device can be either a block backend or a graph node.
4078
4079 In the former case the backend will be destroyed, along with its
4080 inserted medium if there's any. The command will fail if the backend
4081 or its medium are in use.
4082
4083 In the latter case the node will be destroyed. The command will fail
4084 if the node is attached to a block backend or is otherwise being
4085 used.
4086
4087 One of "id" or "node-name" must be specified, but not both.

4129 blockdev-open-tray
4130 ------------------
4131
4132 Opens a block device's tray. If there is a block driver state tree inserted as a
4133 medium, it will become inaccessible to the guest (but it will remain associated
4134 to the block device, so closing the tray will make it accessible again).
4135
4136 If the tray was already open before, this will be a no-op.
4137
4138 Once the tray opens, a DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED event is emitted. There are cases in
4139 which no such event will be generated, these include:
4140 - if the guest has locked the tray, @force is false and the guest does not
4141   respond to the eject request
4142 - if the BlockBackend denoted by @device does not have a guest device attached
4143   to it
4144 - if the guest device does not have an actual tray and is empty, for instance
4145   for floppy disk drives
4146
4147 Arguments:
4148
4149 - "device": block device name (json-string)
4150 - "force": if false (the default), an eject request will be sent to the guest if
4151            it has locked the tray (and the tray will not be opened immediately);
4152            if true, the tray will be opened regardless of whether it is locked
