execute most of the guest code natively, while
continuing to emulate the rest of the machine.
@c man end
+@subsection Device URL Syntax
+@c TODO merge this with section Disk Images
+
+@c man begin NOTES
+
+In addition to using normal file images for the emulated storage devices,
+QEMU can also use networked resources such as iSCSI devices. These are
+specified using a special URL syntax.
+
+@table @option
+@item iSCSI
+iSCSI support allows QEMU to access iSCSI resources directly and use as
+images for the guest storage. Both disk and cdrom images are supported.
+
+Syntax for specifying iSCSI LUNs is
+``iscsi://<target-ip>[:<port>]/<target-iqn>/<lun>''
+
+By default qemu will use the iSCSI initiator-name
+'iqn.2008-11.org.linux-kvm[:<name>]' but this can also be set from the command
+line or a configuration file.
+
+Since version Qemu 2.4 it is possible to specify a iSCSI request timeout to detect
+stalled requests and force a reestablishment of the session. The timeout
+is specified in seconds. The default is 0 which means no timeout. Libiscsi
+1.15.0 or greater is required for this feature.
+
+Example (without authentication):
+@example
+qemu-system-i386 -iscsi initiator-name=iqn.2001-04.com.example:my-initiator \
+ -cdrom iscsi://192.0.2.1/iqn.2001-04.com.example/2 \
+ -drive file=iscsi://192.0.2.1/iqn.2001-04.com.example/1
+@end example
+
+Example (CHAP username/password via URL):
+@example
+qemu-system-i386 -drive file=iscsi://user%password@@192.0.2.1/iqn.2001-04.com.example/1
+@end example
+
+Example (CHAP username/password via environment variables):
+@example
+LIBISCSI_CHAP_USERNAME="user" \
+LIBISCSI_CHAP_PASSWORD="password" \
+qemu-system-i386 -drive file=iscsi://192.0.2.1/iqn.2001-04.com.example/1
+@end example
+
+@item NBD
+QEMU supports NBD (Network Block Devices) both using TCP protocol as well
+as Unix Domain Sockets.
+
+Syntax for specifying a NBD device using TCP
+``nbd:<server-ip>:<port>[:exportname=<export>]''
+
+Syntax for specifying a NBD device using Unix Domain Sockets
+``nbd:unix:<domain-socket>[:exportname=<export>]''
+
+Example for TCP
+@example
+qemu-system-i386 --drive file=nbd:192.0.2.1:30000
+@end example
+
+Example for Unix Domain Sockets
+@example
+qemu-system-i386 --drive file=nbd:unix:/tmp/nbd-socket
+@end example
+
+@item SSH
+QEMU supports SSH (Secure Shell) access to remote disks.
+
+Examples:
+@example
+qemu-system-i386 -drive file=ssh://user@@host/path/to/disk.img
+qemu-system-i386 -drive file.driver=ssh,file.user=user,file.host=host,file.port=22,file.path=/path/to/disk.img
+@end example
+
+Currently authentication must be done using ssh-agent. Other
+authentication methods may be supported in future.
+
+@item Sheepdog
+Sheepdog is a distributed storage system for QEMU.
+QEMU supports using either local sheepdog devices or remote networked
+devices.
+
+Syntax for specifying a sheepdog device
+@example
+sheepdog[+tcp|+unix]://[host:port]/vdiname[?socket=path][#snapid|#tag]
+@end example
+
+Example
+@example
+qemu-system-i386 --drive file=sheepdog://192.0.2.1:30000/MyVirtualMachine
+@end example
+
+See also @url{https://sheepdog.github.io/sheepdog/}.
+
+@item GlusterFS
+GlusterFS is a user space distributed file system.
+QEMU supports the use of GlusterFS volumes for hosting VM disk images using
+TCP, Unix Domain Sockets and RDMA transport protocols.
+
+Syntax for specifying a VM disk image on GlusterFS volume is
+@example
+
+URI:
+gluster[+type]://[host[:port]]/volume/path[?socket=...][,debug=N][,logfile=...]
+
+JSON:
+'json:@{"driver":"qcow2","file":@{"driver":"gluster","volume":"testvol","path":"a.img","debug":N,"logfile":"...",
+@ "server":[@{"type":"tcp","host":"...","port":"..."@},

+@ file.server.1.type=unix,file.server.1.socket=/var/run/glusterd.socket
+@end example
+
+See also @url{http://www.gluster.org}.
+
+@item HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/FTPS
+QEMU supports read-only access to files accessed over http(s) and ftp(s).
+
+Syntax using a single filename:
+@example
+<protocol>://[<username>[:<password>]@@]<host>/<path>
+@end example
+
+where:
+@table @option
+@item protocol
+'http', 'https', 'ftp', or 'ftps'.
+
+@item username
+Optional username for authentication to the remote server.
+
+@item password
+Optional password for authentication to the remote server.
+
+@item host
+Address of the remote server.
+
+@item path
+Path on the remote server, including any query string.
+@end table
+
+The following options are also supported:
+@table @option
+@item url
+The full URL when passing options to the driver explicitly.
+
+@item readahead
+The amount of data to read ahead with each range request to the remote server.
+This value may optionally have the suffix 'T', 'G', 'M', 'K', 'k' or 'b'. If it
+does not have a suffix, it will be assumed to be in bytes. The value must be a
+multiple of 512 bytes. It defaults to 256k.
+
+@item sslverify
+Whether to verify the remote server's certificate when connecting over SSL. It
+can have the value 'on' or 'off'. It defaults to 'on'.
+
+@item cookie
+Send this cookie (it can also be a list of cookies separated by ';') with
+each outgoing request. Only supported when using protocols such as HTTP
+which support cookies, otherwise ignored.
+
+@item timeout
+Set the timeout in seconds of the CURL connection. This timeout is the time
+that CURL waits for a response from the remote server to get the size of the
+image to be downloaded. If not set, the default timeout of 5 seconds is used.
+@end table
+
+Note that when passing options to qemu explicitly, @option{driver} is the value

-@node disk_images_formats
-@subsection Disk image file formats
-
-QEMU supports many image file formats that can be used with VMs as well as with
-any of the tools (like @code{qemu-img}). This includes the preferred formats
-raw and qcow2 as well as formats that are supported for compatibility with
-older QEMU versions or other hypervisors.
-
-Depending on the image format, different options can be passed to
-@code{qemu-img create} and @code{qemu-img convert} using the @code{-o} option.
-This section describes each format and the options that are supported for it.
-
-@table @option
-@item raw
-
-Raw disk image format. This format has the advantage of
-being simple and easily exportable to all other emulators. If your
-file system supports @emph{holes} (for example in ext2 or ext3 on
-Linux or NTFS on Windows), then only the written sectors will reserve
-space. Use @code{qemu-img info} to know the real size used by the
-image or @code{ls -ls} on Unix/Linux.
-
-Supported options:
-@table @code
-@item preallocation
-Preallocation mode (allowed values: @code{off}, @code{falloc}, @code{full}).
-@code{falloc} mode preallocates space for image by calling posix_fallocate().
-@code{full} mode preallocates space for image by writing zeros to underlying
-storage.
-@end table
-
-@item qcow2
-QEMU image format, the most versatile format. Use it to have smaller
-images (useful if your filesystem does not supports holes, for example
-on Windows), zlib based compression and support of multiple VM
-snapshots.
-
-Supported options:
-@table @code
-@item compat
-Determines the qcow2 version to use. @code{compat=0.10} uses the
-traditional image format that can be read by any QEMU since 0.10.
-@code{compat=1.1} enables image format extensions that only QEMU 1.1 and
-newer understand (this is the default). Amongst others, this includes
-zero clusters, which allow efficient copy-on-read for sparse images.
-
-@item backing_file
-File name of a base image (see @option{create} subcommand)
-@item backing_fmt
-Image format of the base image
-@item encryption
-This option is deprecated and equivalent to @code{encrypt.format=aes}
-
-@item encrypt.format
-
-If this is set to @code{luks}, it requests that the qcow2 payload (not
-qcow2 header) be encrypted using the LUKS format. The passphrase to
-use to unlock the LUKS key slot is given by the @code{encrypt.key-secret}
-parameter. LUKS encryption parameters can be tuned with the other
-@code{encrypt.*} parameters.
-
-If this is set to @code{aes}, the image is encrypted with 128-bit AES-CBC.
-The encryption key is given by the @code{encrypt.key-secret} parameter.
-This encryption format is considered to be flawed by modern cryptography
-standards, suffering from a number of design problems:
-
-@itemize @minus
-@item The AES-CBC cipher is used with predictable initialization vectors based
-on the sector number. This makes it vulnerable to chosen plaintext attacks
-which can reveal the existence of encrypted data.
-@item The user passphrase is directly used as the encryption key. A poorly
-chosen or short passphrase will compromise the security of the encryption.
-@item In the event of the passphrase being compromised there is no way to
-change the passphrase to protect data in any qcow images. The files must
-be cloned, using a different encryption passphrase in the new file. The
-original file must then be securely erased using a program like shred,
-though even this is ineffective with many modern storage technologies.
-@end itemize
-
-The use of this is no longer supported in system emulators. Support only
-remains in the command line utilities, for the purposes of data liberation
-and interoperability with old versions of QEMU. The @code{luks} format
-should be used instead.
-
-@item encrypt.key-secret
-
-Provides the ID of a @code{secret} object that contains the passphrase
-(@code{encrypt.format=luks}) or encryption key (@code{encrypt.format=aes}).
-
-@item encrypt.cipher-alg
-
-Name of the cipher algorithm and key length. Currently defaults
-to @code{aes-256}. Only used when @code{encrypt.format=luks}.
-
-@item encrypt.cipher-mode
-
-Name of the encryption mode to use. Currently defaults to @code{xts}.
-Only used when @code{encrypt.format=luks}.
-
-@item encrypt.ivgen-alg
-
-Name of the initialization vector generator algorithm. Currently defaults
-to @code{plain64}. Only used when @code{encrypt.format=luks}.
-
-@item encrypt.ivgen-hash-alg
-
-Name of the hash algorithm to use with the initialization vector generator
-(if required). Defaults to @code{sha256}. Only used when @code{encrypt.format=luks}.
-
-@item encrypt.hash-alg
-
-Name of the hash algorithm to use for PBKDF algorithm
-Defaults to @code{sha256}. Only used when @code{encrypt.format=luks}.
-
-@item encrypt.iter-time
-
-Amount of time, in milliseconds, to use for PBKDF algorithm per key slot.
-Defaults to @code{2000}. Only used when @code{encrypt.format=luks}.
-
-@item cluster_size
-Changes the qcow2 cluster size (must be between 512 and 2M). Smaller cluster
-sizes can improve the image file size whereas larger cluster sizes generally
-provide better performance.
-
-@item preallocation
-Preallocation mode (allowed values: @code{off}, @code{metadata}, @code{falloc},
-@code{full}). An image with preallocated metadata is initially larger but can
-improve performance when the image needs to grow. @code{falloc} and @code{full}
-preallocations are like the same options of @code{raw} format, but sets up
-metadata also.
-
-@item lazy_refcounts
-If this option is set to @code{on}, reference count updates are postponed with
-the goal of avoiding metadata I/O and improving performance. This is
-particularly interesting with @option{cache=writethrough} which doesn't batch
-metadata updates. The tradeoff is that after a host crash, the reference count
-tables must be rebuilt, i.e. on the next open an (automatic) @code{qemu-img
-check -r all} is required, which may take some time.
-
-This option can only be enabled if @code{compat=1.1} is specified.
-
-@item nocow
-If this option is set to @code{on}, it will turn off COW of the file. It's only
-valid on btrfs, no effect on other file systems.
-
-Btrfs has low performance when hosting a VM image file, even more when the guest
-on the VM also using btrfs as file system. Turning off COW is a way to mitigate
-this bad performance. Generally there are two ways to turn off COW on btrfs:
-a) Disable it by mounting with nodatacow, then all newly created files will be
-NOCOW. b) For an empty file, add the NOCOW file attribute. That's what this option
-does.
-
-Note: this option is only valid to new or empty files. If there is an existing
-file which is COW and has data blocks already, it couldn't be changed to NOCOW
-by setting @code{nocow=on}. One can issue @code{lsattr filename} to check if
-the NOCOW flag is set or not (Capital 'C' is NOCOW flag).
-
-@end table
-
-@item qed
-Old QEMU image format with support for backing files and compact image files
-(when your filesystem or transport medium does not support holes).
-
-When converting QED images to qcow2, you might want to consider using the
-@code{lazy_refcounts=on} option to get a more QED-like behaviour.
-
-Supported options:
-@table @code
-@item backing_file
-File name of a base image (see @option{create} subcommand).
-@item backing_fmt
-Image file format of backing file (optional). Useful if the format cannot be
-autodetected because it has no header, like some vhd/vpc files.
-@item cluster_size
-Changes the cluster size (must be power-of-2 between 4K and 64K). Smaller
-cluster sizes can improve the image file size whereas larger cluster sizes
-generally provide better performance.
-@item table_size
-Changes the number of clusters per L1/L2 table (must be power-of-2 between 1
-and 16). There is normally no need to change this value but this option can be
-used for performance benchmarking.
-@end table
-
-@item qcow

-If this is set to @code{aes}, the image is encrypted with 128-bit AES-CBC.
-The encryption key is given by the @code{encrypt.key-secret} parameter.
-This encryption format is considered to be flawed by modern cryptography
-standards, suffering from a number of design problems enumerated previously

-
-The use of this is no longer supported in system emulators. Support only
-remains in the command line utilities, for the purposes of data liberation
-and interoperability with old versions of QEMU.

-
-@node host_drives
-@subsection Using host drives
-
-In addition to disk image files, QEMU can directly access host
-devices. We describe here the usage for QEMU version >= 0.8.3.
-
-@subsubsection Linux
-
-On Linux, you can directly use the host device filename instead of a
-disk image filename provided you have enough privileges to access
-it. For example, use @file{/dev/cdrom} to access to the CDROM.
-
-@table @code
-@item CD
-You can specify a CDROM device even if no CDROM is loaded. QEMU has
-specific code to detect CDROM insertion or removal. CDROM ejection by
-the guest OS is supported. Currently only data CDs are supported.
-@item Floppy
-You can specify a floppy device even if no floppy is loaded. Floppy
-removal is currently not detected accurately (if you change floppy
-without doing floppy access while the floppy is not loaded, the guest
-OS will think that the same floppy is loaded).
-Use of the host's floppy device is deprecated, and support for it will
-be removed in a future release.
-@item Hard disks
-Hard disks can be used. Normally you must specify the whole disk
-(@file{/dev/hdb} instead of @file{/dev/hdb1}) so that the guest OS can
-see it as a partitioned disk. WARNING: unless you know what you do, it
-is better to only make READ-ONLY accesses to the hard disk otherwise
-you may corrupt your host data (use the @option{-snapshot} command
-line option or modify the device permissions accordingly).
-@end table
-
-@subsubsection Windows
-
-@table @code
-@item CD
-The preferred syntax is the drive letter (e.g. @file{d:}). The
-alternate syntax @file{\\.\d:} is supported. @file{/dev/cdrom} is
-supported as an alias to the first CDROM drive.
-
-Currently there is no specific code to handle removable media, so it
-is better to use the @code{change} or @code{eject} monitor commands to
-change or eject media.
-@item Hard disks
-Hard disks can be used with the syntax: @file{\\.\PhysicalDrive@var{N}}
-where @var{N} is the drive number (0 is the first hard disk).
-
-WARNING: unless you know what you do, it is better to only make
-READ-ONLY accesses to the hard disk otherwise you may corrupt your
-host data (use the @option{-snapshot} command line so that the
-modifications are written in a temporary file).
-@end table
-
-
-@subsubsection Mac OS X
-
-@file{/dev/cdrom} is an alias to the first CDROM.
-
-Currently there is no specific code to handle removable media, so it
-is better to use the @code{change} or @code{eject} monitor commands to
-change or eject media.
-
-@node disk_images_fat_images
-@subsection Virtual FAT disk images
-
-QEMU can automatically create a virtual FAT disk image from a
-directory tree. In order to use it, just type:
-
-@example
-qemu-system-i386 linux.img -hdb fat:/my_directory
-@end example
-
-Then you access access to all the files in the @file{/my_directory}
-directory without having to copy them in a disk image or to export
-them via SAMBA or NFS. The default access is @emph{read-only}.
-
-Floppies can be emulated with the @code{:floppy:} option:
-
-@example
-qemu-system-i386 linux.img -fda fat:floppy:/my_directory
-@end example
-
-A read/write support is available for testing (beta stage) with the
-@code{:rw:} option:
-
-@example
-qemu-system-i386 linux.img -fda fat:floppy:rw:/my_directory
-@end example
-
-What you should @emph{never} do:
-@itemize
-@item use non-ASCII filenames ;
-@item use "-snapshot" together with ":rw:" ;
-@item expect it to work when loadvm'ing ;
-@item write to the FAT directory on the host system while accessing it with the guest system.
-@end itemize
-
-@node disk_images_nbd
-@subsection NBD access
-
-QEMU can access directly to block device exported using the Network Block Device
-protocol.
-
-@example
-qemu-system-i386 linux.img -hdb nbd://my_nbd_server.mydomain.org:1024/
-@end example
-
-If the NBD server is located on the same host, you can use an unix socket instead
-of an inet socket:
-
-@example
-qemu-system-i386 linux.img -hdb nbd+unix://?socket=/tmp/my_socket
-@end example
-
-In this case, the block device must be exported using qemu-nbd:
-
-@example
-qemu-nbd --socket=/tmp/my_socket my_disk.qcow2
-@end example
-
-The use of qemu-nbd allows sharing of a disk between several guests:
-@example
-qemu-nbd --socket=/tmp/my_socket --share=2 my_disk.qcow2
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-and then you can use it with two guests:
-@example
-qemu-system-i386 linux1.img -hdb nbd+unix://?socket=/tmp/my_socket
-qemu-system-i386 linux2.img -hdb nbd+unix://?socket=/tmp/my_socket
-@end example
-
-If the nbd-server uses named exports (supported since NBD 2.9.18, or with QEMU's
-own embedded NBD server), you must specify an export name in the URI:
-@example
-qemu-system-i386 -cdrom nbd://localhost/debian-500-ppc-netinst
-qemu-system-i386 -cdrom nbd://localhost/openSUSE-11.1-ppc-netinst
-@end example
-
-The URI syntax for NBD is supported since QEMU 1.3. An alternative syntax is
-also available. Here are some example of the older syntax:
-@example
-qemu-system-i386 linux.img -hdb nbd:my_nbd_server.mydomain.org:1024
-qemu-system-i386 linux2.img -hdb nbd:unix:/tmp/my_socket
-qemu-system-i386 -cdrom nbd:localhost:10809:exportname=debian-500-ppc-netinst

-@node disk_images_sheepdog
-@subsection Sheepdog disk images
-
-Sheepdog is a distributed storage system for QEMU. It provides highly
-available block level storage volumes that can be attached to
-QEMU-based virtual machines.
-
-You can create a Sheepdog disk image with the command:
-@example
-qemu-img create sheepdog:///@var{image} @var{size}
-@end example
-where @var{image} is the Sheepdog image name and @var{size} is its
-size.
-
-To import the existing @var{filename} to Sheepdog, you can use a
-convert command.
-@example
-qemu-img convert @var{filename} sheepdog:///@var{image}
-@end example
-
-You can boot from the Sheepdog disk image with the command:
-@example
-qemu-system-i386 sheepdog:///@var{image}
-@end example
-
-You can also create a snapshot of the Sheepdog image like qcow2.
-@example
-qemu-img snapshot -c @var{tag} sheepdog:///@var{image}
-@end example
-where @var{tag} is a tag name of the newly created snapshot.
-
-To boot from the Sheepdog snapshot, specify the tag name of the
-snapshot.
-@example
-qemu-system-i386 sheepdog:///@var{image}#@var{tag}
-@end example
-
-You can create a cloned image from the existing snapshot.
-@example
-qemu-img create -b sheepdog:///@var{base}#@var{tag} sheepdog:///@var{image}
-@end example
-where @var{base} is a image name of the source snapshot and @var{tag}
-is its tag name.
-
-You can use an unix socket instead of an inet socket:
-
-@example
-qemu-system-i386 sheepdog+unix:///@var{image}?socket=@var{path}
-@end example
-
-If the Sheepdog daemon doesn't run on the local host, you need to
-specify one of the Sheepdog servers to connect to.
-@example
-qemu-img create sheepdog://@var{hostname}:@var{port}/@var{image} @var{size}
-qemu-system-i386 sheepdog://@var{hostname}:@var{port}/@var{image}
-@end example

-@node disk_images_iscsi
-@subsection iSCSI LUNs
-
-iSCSI is a popular protocol used to access SCSI devices across a computer
-network.
-
-There are two different ways iSCSI devices can be used by QEMU.
-
-The first method is to mount the iSCSI LUN on the host, and make it appear as
-any other ordinary SCSI device on the host and then to access this device as a
-/dev/sd device from QEMU. How to do this differs between host OSes.
-
-The second method involves using the iSCSI initiator that is built into
-QEMU. This provides a mechanism that works the same way regardless of which
-host OS you are running QEMU on. This section will describe this second method
-of using iSCSI together with QEMU.
-
-In QEMU, iSCSI devices are described using special iSCSI URLs
-
-@example
-URL syntax:
-iscsi://[<username>[%<password>]@@]<host>[:<port>]/<target-iqn-name>/<lun>
-@end example
-
-Username and password are optional and only used if your target is set up
-using CHAP authentication for access control.
-Alternatively the username and password can also be set via environment
-variables to have these not show up in the process list
-
-@example
-export LIBISCSI_CHAP_USERNAME=<username>
-export LIBISCSI_CHAP_PASSWORD=<password>
-iscsi://<host>/<target-iqn-name>/<lun>
-@end example
-
-Various session related parameters can be set via special options, either
-in a configuration file provided via '-readconfig' or directly on the
-command line.
-
-If the initiator-name is not specified qemu will use a default name
-of 'iqn.2008-11.org.linux-kvm[:<name>'] where <name> is the name of the
-virtual machine.
-
-
-@example
-Setting a specific initiator name to use when logging in to the target
--iscsi initiator-name=iqn.qemu.test:my-initiator
-@end example
-
-@example
-Controlling which type of header digest to negotiate with the target
--iscsi header-digest=CRC32C|CRC32C-NONE|NONE-CRC32C|NONE
-@end example
-
-These can also be set via a configuration file
-@example
-[iscsi]
- user = "CHAP username"
- password = "CHAP password"
- initiator-name = "iqn.qemu.test:my-initiator"
- # header digest is one of CRC32C|CRC32C-NONE|NONE-CRC32C|NONE
- header-digest = "CRC32C"
-@end example
-
-
-Setting the target name allows different options for different targets
-@example
-[iscsi "iqn.target.name"]
- user = "CHAP username"
- password = "CHAP password"
- initiator-name = "iqn.qemu.test:my-initiator"
- # header digest is one of CRC32C|CRC32C-NONE|NONE-CRC32C|NONE
- header-digest = "CRC32C"
-@end example
-
-
-Howto use a configuration file to set iSCSI configuration options:
-@example
-cat >iscsi.conf <<EOF
-[iscsi]
- user = "me"
- password = "my password"
- initiator-name = "iqn.qemu.test:my-initiator"
- header-digest = "CRC32C"
-EOF

-@example
-This example shows how to set up an iSCSI target with one CDROM and one DISK
-using the Linux STGT software target. This target is available on Red Hat based
-systems as the package 'scsi-target-utils'.

-@node disk_images_gluster
-@subsection GlusterFS disk images
-
-GlusterFS is a user space distributed file system.
-
-You can boot from the GlusterFS disk image with the command:
-@example
-URI:
-qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=gluster[+@var{type}]://[@var{host}[:@var{port}]]/@var{volume}/@var{path}
- [?socket=...][,file.debug=9][,file.logfile=...]
-
-JSON:
-qemu-system-x86_64 'json:@{"driver":"qcow2",
- "file":@{"driver":"gluster",
- "volume":"testvol","path":"a.img","debug":9,"logfile":"...",
- "server":[@{"type":"tcp","host":"...","port":"..."@},
- @{"type":"unix","socket":"..."@}]@}@}'
-@end example
-
-@var{gluster} is the protocol.
-
-@var{type} specifies the transport type used to connect to gluster
-management daemon (glusterd). Valid transport types are
-tcp and unix. In the URI form, if a transport type isn't specified,
-then tcp type is assumed.
-
-@var{host} specifies the server where the volume file specification for
-the given volume resides. This can be either a hostname or an ipv4 address.
-If transport type is unix, then @var{host} field should not be specified.
-Instead @var{socket} field needs to be populated with the path to unix domain
-socket.
-
-@var{port} is the port number on which glusterd is listening. This is optional
-and if not specified, it defaults to port 24007. If the transport type is unix,
-then @var{port} should not be specified.
-
-@var{volume} is the name of the gluster volume which contains the disk image.
-
-@var{path} is the path to the actual disk image that resides on gluster volume.
-
-@var{debug} is the logging level of the gluster protocol driver. Debug levels
-are 0-9, with 9 being the most verbose, and 0 representing no debugging output.
-The default level is 4. The current logging levels defined in the gluster source
-are 0 - None, 1 - Emergency, 2 - Alert, 3 - Critical, 4 - Error, 5 - Warning,
-6 - Notice, 7 - Info, 8 - Debug, 9 - Trace
-
-@var{logfile} is a commandline option to mention log file path which helps in
-logging to the specified file and also help in persisting the gfapi logs. The
-default is stderr.
-
-
-
-
-You can create a GlusterFS disk image with the command:
-@example
-qemu-img create gluster://@var{host}/@var{volume}/@var{path} @var{size}
-@end example
-
-Examples
-@example
-qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=gluster://1.2.3.4/testvol/a.img

-@end example
-
-@node disk_images_ssh
-@subsection Secure Shell (ssh) disk images
-
-You can access disk images located on a remote ssh server
-by using the ssh protocol:
-
-@example
-qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=ssh://[@var{user}@@]@var{server}[:@var{port}]/@var{path}[?host_key_check=@var{host_key_check}]
-@end example
-
-Alternative syntax using properties:
-
-@example
-qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file.driver=ssh[,file.user=@var{user}],file.host=@var{server}[,file.port=@var{port}],file.path=@var{path}[,file.host_key_check=@var{host_key_check}]
-@end example
-
-@var{ssh} is the protocol.
-
-@var{user} is the remote user. If not specified, then the local
-username is tried.
-
-@var{server} specifies the remote ssh server. Any ssh server can be
-used, but it must implement the sftp-server protocol. Most Unix/Linux
-systems should work without requiring any extra configuration.
-
-@var{port} is the port number on which sshd is listening. By default
-the standard ssh port (22) is used.
-
-@var{path} is the path to the disk image.
-
-The optional @var{host_key_check} parameter controls how the remote
-host's key is checked. The default is @code{yes} which means to use
-the local @file{.ssh/known_hosts} file. Setting this to @code{no}
-turns off known-hosts checking. Or you can check that the host key
-matches a specific fingerprint:
-@code{host_key_check=md5:78:45:8e:14:57:4f:d5:45:83:0a:0e:f3:49:82:c9:c8}
-(@code{sha1:} can also be used as a prefix, but note that OpenSSH
-tools only use MD5 to print fingerprints).
-
-Currently authentication must be done using ssh-agent. Other
-authentication methods may be supported in future.
-
-Note: Many ssh servers do not support an @code{fsync}-style operation.
-The ssh driver cannot guarantee that disk flush requests are
-obeyed, and this causes a risk of disk corruption if the remote
-server or network goes down during writes. The driver will
-print a warning when @code{fsync} is not supported:
-
-warning: ssh server @code{ssh.example.com:22} does not support fsync
-
-With sufficiently new versions of libssh2 and OpenSSH, @code{fsync} is
-supported.

+@node Deprecated features
+@appendix Deprecated features
+
+In general features are intended to be supported indefinitely once
+introduced into QEMU. In the event that a feature needs to be removed,
+it will be listed in this appendix. The feature will remain functional
+for 2 releases prior to actual removal. Deprecated features may also
+generate warnings on the console when QEMU starts up, or if activated
+via a monitor command, however, this is not a mandatory requirement.
+
+Prior to the 2.10.0 release there was no official policy on how
+long features would be deprecated prior to their removal, nor
+any documented list of which features were deprecated. Thus
+any features deprecated prior to 2.10.0 will be treated as if
+they were first deprecated in the 2.10.0 release.
+
+What follows is a list of all features currently marked as
+deprecated.
+
+@section Build options
+
+@subsection GTK 2.x
+
+Previously QEMU has supported building against both GTK 2.x
+and 3.x series APIs. Support for the GTK 2.x builds will be
+discontinued, so maintainers should switch to using GTK 3.x,
+which is the default.
+
+@subsection SDL 1.2
+
+Previously QEMU has supported building against both SDL 1.2
+and 2.0 series APIs. Support for the SDL 1.2 builds will be
+discontinued, so maintainers should switch to using SDL 2.0,
+which is the default.
+
+@section System emulator command line arguments
+
+@subsection -tdf (since 1.3.0)
+
+The ``-tdf'' argument is ignored. The behaviour implemented
+by this argument is now the default when using the KVM PIT,
+but can be requested explicitly using
+``-global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=slew''.
+
+@subsection -no-kvm-pit-reinjection (since 1.3.0)
+
+The ``-no-kvm-pit-reinjection'' argument is now a
+synonym for setting ``-global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard''.
+
+@subsection -no-kvm-irqchip (since 1.3.0)
+
+The ``-no-kvm-irqchip'' argument is now a synonym for
+setting ``-machine kernel_irqchip=off''.
+
+@subsection -no-kvm (since 1.3.0)
+
+The ``-no-kvm'' argument is now a synonym for setting
+``-machine accel=tcg''.
+
+@subsection -mon default=on (since 2.4.0)
+
+The ``default'' option to the ``-mon'' argument is
+now ignored. When multiple monitors were enabled, it
+indicated which monitor would receive log messages
+from the various subsystems. This feature is no longer
+required as messages are now only sent to the monitor
+in response to explicitly monitor commands.
+
+@subsection -vnc tls (since 2.5.0)
+
+The ``-vnc tls'' argument is now a synonym for setting
+``-object tls-creds-anon,id=tls0'' combined with
+``-vnc tls-creds=tls0'
+
+@subsection -vnc x509 (since 2.5.0)
+
+The ``-vnc x509=/path/to/certs'' argument is now a
+synonym for setting
+``-object tls-creds-x509,dir=/path/to/certs,id=tls0,verify-peer=no''
+combined with ``-vnc tls-creds=tls0'
+
+@subsection -vnc x509verify (since 2.5.0)
+
+The ``-vnc x509verify=/path/to/certs'' argument is now a
+synonym for setting
+``-object tls-creds-x509,dir=/path/to/certs,id=tls0,verify-peer=yes''
+combined with ``-vnc tls-creds=tls0'
+
+@subsection -tftp (since 2.6.0)
+
+The ``-tftp /some/dir'' argument is replaced by
+``-netdev user,id=x,tftp=/some/dir'', either accompanied with
+``-device ...,netdev=x'' (for pluggable NICs) or ``-net nic,netdev=x''
+(for embedded NICs). The new syntax allows different settings to be
+provided per NIC.
+
+@subsection -bootp (since 2.6.0)
+
+The ``-bootp /some/file'' argument is replaced by
+``-netdev user,id=x,bootp=/some/file'', either accompanied with
+``-device ...,netdev=x'' (for pluggable NICs) or ``-net nic,netdev=x''
+(for embedded NICs). The new syntax allows different settings to be
+provided per NIC.
+
+@subsection -redir (since 2.6.0)
+
+The ``-redir [tcp|udp]:hostport:[guestaddr]:guestport'' argument is
+replaced by ``-netdev
+user,id=x,hostfwd=[tcp|udp]:[hostaddr]:hostport-[guestaddr]:guestport'',
+either accompanied with ``-device ...,netdev=x'' (for pluggable NICs) or
+``-net nic,netdev=x'' (for embedded NICs). The new syntax allows different
+settings to be provided per NIC.
+
+@subsection -smb (since 2.6.0)
+
+The ``-smb /some/dir'' argument is replaced by
+``-netdev user,id=x,smb=/some/dir'', either accompanied with
+``-device ...,netdev=x'' (for pluggable NICs) or ``-net nic,netdev=x''
+(for embedded NICs). The new syntax allows different settings to be
+provided per NIC.
+
+@subsection -net vlan (since 2.9.0)
+
+The ``-net vlan=NN'' argument is partially replaced with the
+new ``-netdev'' argument. The remaining use cases will no
+longer be directly supported in QEMU.
+
+@subsection -drive if=scsi (since 2.9.0)
+
+The ``-drive if=scsi'' argument is replaced by the the
+``-device BUS-TYPE'' argument combined with ``-drive if=none''.
+
+@subsection -drive cyls=...,heads=...,secs=...,trans=... (since 2.10.0)
+
+The drive geometry arguments are replaced by the the geometry arguments
+that can be specified with the ``-device'' parameter.
+
+@subsection -drive serial=... (since 2.10.0)
+
+The drive serial argument is replaced by the the serial argument
+that can be specified with the ``-device'' parameter.
+
+@subsection -drive addr=... (since 2.10.0)
+
+The drive addr argument is replaced by the the addr argument
+that can be specified with the ``-device'' parameter.
+
+@subsection -net dump (since 2.10.0)
+
+The ``--net dump'' argument is now replaced with the
+``-object filter-dump'' argument which works in combination
+with the modern ``-netdev`` backends instead.
+
+@subsection -usbdevice (since 2.10.0)
+
+The ``-usbdevice DEV'' argument is now a synonym for setting
+the ``-device usb-DEV'' argument instead. The deprecated syntax
+would automatically enable USB support on the machine type.
+If using the new syntax, USB support must be explicitly
+enabled via the ``-machine usb=on'' argument.
+
+@subsection -nodefconfig (since 2.11.0)
+
+The ``-nodefconfig`` argument is a synonym for ``-no-user-config``.
+
+@subsection -machine s390-squash-mcss=on|off (since 2.12.0)
+
+The ``s390-squash-mcss=on`` property has been obsoleted by allowing the
+cssid to be chosen freely. Instead of squashing subchannels into the
+default channel subsystem image for guests that do not support multiple
+channel subsystems, all devices can be put into the default channel
+subsystem image.
+
+@subsection -fsdev handle (since 2.12.0)
+
+The ``handle'' fsdev backend does not support symlinks and causes the 9p
+filesystem in the guest to fail a fair amount of tests from the PJD POSIX
+filesystem test suite. Also it requires the CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH capability,
+which is not the recommended way to run QEMU. This backend should not be
+used and it will be removed with no replacement.
+
+@section qemu-img command line arguments
+
+@subsection convert -s (since 2.0.0)
+
+The ``convert -s snapshot_id_or_name'' argument is obsoleted
+by the ``convert -l snapshot_param'' argument instead.
+
+@section System emulator human monitor commands
+
+@subsection host_net_add (since 2.10.0)
+
+The ``host_net_add'' command is replaced by the ``netdev_add'' command.
+
+@subsection host_net_remove (since 2.10.0)
+
+The ``host_net_remove'' command is replaced by the ``netdev_del'' command.
+
+@section System emulator devices
+
+@subsection ivshmem (since 2.6.0)
+
+The ``ivshmem'' device type is replaced by either the ``ivshmem-plain''
+or ``ivshmem-doorbell`` device types.
+
+@subsection Page size support < 4k for embedded PowerPC CPUs (since 2.12.0)
+
+qemu-system-ppcemb will be removed. qemu-system-ppc (or qemu-system-ppc64)
+should be used instead. That means that embedded 4xx PowerPC CPUs will not
+support page sizes < 4096 any longer.
+
+@section System emulator machines
+
+@subsection Xilinx EP108 (since 2.11.0)
+
+The ``xlnx-ep108'' machine has been replaced by the ``xlnx-zcu102'' machine.
+The ``xlnx-zcu102'' machine has the same features and capabilites in QEMU.
