6 QMP Supported Commands
7 ----------------------
8
9This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
10
11Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this
12means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage,
13QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.
14
15QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular commands
16usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while query commands just
17return information. The sections below are divided accordingly.
18
19It's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted in
20a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand. However, in real
21protocol usage, they're emitted as a single line.
22
23Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
24
25-> data issued by the Client
26<- Server data response
27
28Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
29information on the Server command and response formats.
30
31NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.
32
331. Stability Considerations
34===========================
35
36The current QMP command set (described in this file) may be useful for a
37number of use cases, however it's limited and several commands have bad
38defined semantics, specially with regard to command completion.
39
40These problems are going to be solved incrementally in the next QEMU releases
41and we're going to establish a deprecation policy for badly defined commands.
42
43If 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
552. Regular Commands
56===================
57
58Server's responses in the examples below are always a success response, please
59refer to the QMP specification for more details on error responses.

546 replaced. Bug: replacement doesn't work. Bug: can screw
547 up on encountering NUL characters, after the ring buffer
548 lost data, and when reading stops because the size limit
549 is reached.

1008 If top == base, that is an error.
1009 If top == active, the job will not be completed by itself,
1010 user needs to complete the job with the block-job-complete

1014 will be resized to be the same size as top. If top is
1015 smaller than the base image, the base will not be
1016 truncated. If you want the base image size to match the

1060 possibilities include "full" for all the disk, "top" for only the sectors
1061 allocated in the topmost image, or "none" to only replicate new I/O
1062 (MirrorSyncMode).
1063- "mode": whether and how QEMU should create a new image
1064 (NewImageMode, optional, default 'absolute-paths')
1065- "speed": the maximum speed, in bytes per second (json-int, optional)
1066- "on-source-error": the action to take on an error on the source, default
1067 'report'. 'stop' and 'enospc' can only be used
1068 if the block device supports io-status.
1069 (BlockdevOnError, optional)

1118Atomically operate on one or more block devices. The only supported operations
1119for now are drive-backup, internal and external snapshotting. A list of
1120dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
1121If there is any failure performing any of the operations, all operations
1122for the group are abandoned.
1123
1124For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1125the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
1126qcow2.
1127
1128Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1129contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1130an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1131the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1132perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1133current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1134
1135On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1136
1137For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1138name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1139be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1140and sheepdog.
1141
1142On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1143transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1144it later with qemu-img or other command.

1303------------
1304
1305Start mirroring a block device's writes to a new destination. target
1306specifies the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is
1307a device, it will be used as the new destination for writes. If it does not
1308exist, a new file will be created. format specifies the format of the
1309mirror image, default is to probe if mode='existing', else the format
1310of the source.
1311
1312Arguments:
1313
1314- "device": device name to operate on (json-string)
1315- "target": name of new image file (json-string)
1316- "format": format of new image (json-string, optional)
1317- "mode": how an image file should be created into the target
1318 file/device (NewImageMode, optional, default 'absolute-paths')
1319- "speed": maximum speed of the streaming job, in bytes per second
1320 (json-int)
1321- "granularity": granularity of the dirty bitmap, in bytes (json-int, optional)
1322- "buf_size": maximum amount of data in flight from source to target, in bytes
1323 (json-int, default 10M)
1324- "sync": what parts of the disk image should be copied to the destination;
1325 possibilities include "full" for all the disk, "top" for only the sectors
1326 allocated in the topmost image, or "none" to only replicate new I/O
1327 (MirrorSyncMode).
1328- "on-source-error": the action to take on an error on the source
1329 (BlockdevOnError, default 'report')
1330- "on-target-error": the action to take on an error on the target
1331 (BlockdevOnError, default 'report')
1332
1333The default value of the granularity is the image cluster size clamped
1334between 4096 and 65536, if the image format defines one. If the format
1335does not define a cluster size, the default value of the granularity
1336is 65536.

2903 migration has ended, it returns the total migration
2904 time (json-int)
2905- "setup-time" amount of setup time in milliseconds _before_ the
2906 iterations begin but _after_ the QMP command is issued.
2907 This is designed to provide an accounting of any activities
2908 (such as RDMA pinning) which may be expensive, but do not
2909 actually occur during the iterative migration rounds
2910 themselves. (json-int)
2911- "downtime": only present when migration has finished correctly
2912 total amount in ms for downtime that happened (json-int)
2913- "expected-downtime": only present while migration is active
2914 total amount in ms for downtime that was calculated on
2915 the last bitmap round (json-int)
2916- "ram": only present if "status" is "active", it is a json-object with the
2917 following RAM information:
2918 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
2919 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes (json-int)
2920 - "total": total amount of memory in bytes (json-int)
2921 - "duplicate": number of pages filled entirely with the same
2922 byte (json-int)
2923 These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.
2924 - "skipped": number of skipped zero pages (json-int)
2925 - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred. I.e. they
2926 were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
2927 - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
2928 pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
2929 but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
2930 size (json-int)
2931- "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
2932 it is a json-object with the following disk information:
2933 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
2934 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
2935 - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
2936- "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
2937 It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
2938 - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
2939 - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
2940 - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
2941 - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
2942 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
2943 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
2944 whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
2945 normal page).
