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.

926 Atomically operate on one or more block devices. The only supported
927 operation for now is snapshotting. If there is any failure performing
928 any of the operations, all snapshots for the group are abandoned, and
929 the original disks pre-snapshot attempt are used.
931 A list of dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
932 For snapshots this is the device, the file to use for the new snapshot,
933 and the format. The default format, if not specified, is qcow2.
935 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
936 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
937 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
938 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
939 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
940 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
942 Arguments:
944 actions array:
945 - "type": the operation to perform. The only supported
946 value is "blockdev-snapshot-sync". (json-string)
947 - "data": a dictionary. The contents depend on the value
948 of "type". When "type" is "blockdev-snapshot-sync":
949 - "device": device name to snapshot (json-string)
950 - "snapshot-file": name of new image file (json-string)
951 - "format": format of new image (json-string, optional)
952 - "mode": whether and how QEMU should create the snapshot file
953 (NewImageMode, optional, default "absolute-paths")
955 Example:
957 -> { "execute": "transaction",

978 ----------------------
980 Synchronous snapshot of a block device. snapshot-file specifies the
981 target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is a device, the
982 snapshot will be created in the existing file/device. If does not
983 exist, a new file will be created. format specifies the format of the
984 snapshot image, default is qcow2.
986 Arguments:

1014 ------------
1016 Start mirroring a block device's writes to a new destination. target
1017 specifies the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is
1018 a device, it will be used as the new destination for writes. If it does not
1019 exist, a new file will be created. format specifies the format of the
1020 mirror image, default is to probe if mode='existing', else the format
1021 of the source.
1023 Arguments:
1025 - "device": device name to operate on (json-string)
1026 - "target": name of new image file (json-string)

1031 (json-int)
1032 - "granularity": granularity of the dirty bitmap, in bytes (json-int, optional)
1033 - "buf_size": maximum amount of data in flight from source to target, in bytes
1034 (json-int, default 10M)
1035 - "sync": what parts of the disk image should be copied to the destination;
1036 possibilities include "full" for all the disk, "top" for only the sectors
1037 allocated in the topmost image, or "none" to only replicate new I/O
1038 (MirrorSyncMode).
1039 - "on-source-error": the action to take on an error on the source
1040 (BlockdevOnError, default 'report')
1041 - "on-target-error": the action to take on an error on the target
1042 (BlockdevOnError, default 'report')
1044 The default value of the granularity is the image cluster size clamped
1045 between 4096 and 65536, if the image format defines one. If the format
1046 does not define a cluster size, the default value of the granularity
1047 is 65536.
