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.

925 drive-backup
926 ------------
928 Start a point-in-time copy of a block device to a new destination. The
929 status of ongoing drive-backup operations can be checked with
930 query-block-jobs where the BlockJobInfo.type field has the value 'backup'.
931 The operation can be stopped before it has completed using the
932 block-job-cancel command.
934 Arguments:
936 - "device": the name of the device which should be copied.
937 (json-string)
938 - "target": the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is a
939 device, the existing file/device will be used as the new
940 destination. If it does not exist, a new file will be created.
941 (json-string)
942 - "format": the format of the new destination, default is to probe if 'mode' is
943 'existing', else the format of the source
944 (json-string, optional)
945 - "sync": what parts of the disk image should be copied to the destination;
946 possibilities include "full" for all the disk, "top" for only the sectors
947 allocated in the topmost image, or "none" to only replicate new I/O
948 (MirrorSyncMode).
949 - "mode": whether and how QEMU should create a new image
950 (NewImageMode, optional, default 'absolute-paths')
951 - "speed": the maximum speed, in bytes per second (json-int, optional)
952 - "on-source-error": the action to take on an error on the source, default
953 'report'. 'stop' and 'enospc' can only be used
954 if the block device supports io-status.
955 (BlockdevOnError, optional)
956 - "on-target-error": the action to take on an error on the target, default
957 'report' (no limitations, since this applies to
958 a different block device than device).

1001 transaction
1002 -----------
1004 Atomically operate on one or more block devices. The only supported operations
1005 for now are drive-backup, internal and external snapshotting. A list of
1006 dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
1007 If there is any failure performing any of the operations, all operations
1008 for the group are abandoned.
1010 For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1011 the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
1012 qcow2.
1014 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1015 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1016 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1017 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1018 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1019 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1021 On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1023 For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1024 name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1025 be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1026 and sheepdog.
1028 On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1029 transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1030 it later with qemu-img or other command.
1032 Arguments:
1034 actions array:
1035 - "type": the operation to perform. The only supported
1036 value is "blockdev-snapshot-sync". (json-string)
1037 - "data": a dictionary. The contents depend on the value
1038 of "type". When "type" is "blockdev-snapshot-sync":
1039 - "device": device name to snapshot (json-string)
1040 - "snapshot-file": name of new image file (json-string)

1655 Notes:
1657 (1) The Human Monitor is NOT an stable interface, this means that command
1658 names, arguments and responses can change or be removed at ANY time.
1659 Applications that rely on long term stability guarantees should NOT
1660 use this command
1662 (2) Limitations:
1664 o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
1665 on state information (such as getfd) might not work
1667 o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block
1668 device is encrypted) don't currently work

2735 - "status": migration status (json-string)
2736 - Possible values: "active", "completed", "failed", "cancelled"
2737 - "total-time": total amount of ms since migration started. If
2738 migration has ended, it returns the total migration
2739 time (json-int)
2740 - "setup-time" amount of setup time in milliseconds _before_ the
2741 iterations begin but _after_ the QMP command is issued.
2742 This is designed to provide an accounting of any activities
2743 (such as RDMA pinning) which may be expensive, but do not
2744 actually occur during the iterative migration rounds
2745 themselves. (json-int)
2746 - "downtime": only present when migration has finished correctly
2747 total amount in ms for downtime that happened (json-int)

2749 total amount in ms for downtime that was calculated on
2750 the last bitmap round (json-int)
2751 - "ram": only present if "status" is "active", it is a json-object with the
2752 following RAM information:
2753 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
2754 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes (json-int)
2755 - "total": total amount of memory in bytes (json-int)
2756 - "duplicate": number of pages filled entirely with the same
2757 byte (json-int)
2758 These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.
2759 - "skipped": number of skipped zero pages (json-int)
2760 - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred. I.e. they
2761 were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
2762 - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
2763 pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
2764 but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
2765 size (json-int)
2766 - "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
2767 it is a json-object with the following disk information:
2768 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
2769 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
2770 - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
2771 - "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
2772 It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
2773 - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
2774 - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
2775 - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
2776 - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
2777 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
2778 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
2779 whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
2780 normal page).
