@findex -boot
|
|
Specify boot order @var{drives} as a string of drive letters. Valid
|
|
drive letters depend on the target achitecture. The x86 PC uses: a, b
|
|
(floppy 1 and 2), c (first hard disk), d (first CD-ROM), n-p (Etherboot
|
|
from network adapter 1-4), hard disk boot is the default. To apply a
|
|
particular boot order only on the first startup, specify it via
|
|
@option{once}.
|
|
|
|
Interactive boot menus/prompts can be enabled via @option{menu=on} as far
|
|
as firmware/BIOS supports them. The default is non-interactive boot.
|
|
|
|
A splash picture could be passed to bios, enabling user to show it as logo,
|
|
when option splash=@var{sp_name} is given and menu=on, If firmware/BIOS
|
|
supports them. Currently Seabios for X86 system support it.
|
|
limitation: The splash file could be a jpeg file or a BMP file in 24 BPP
|
|
format(true color). The resolution should be supported by the SVGA mode, so
|
|
the recommended is 320x240, 640x480, 800x640.
|
|
|
|
A timeout could be passed to bios, guest will pause for @var{rb_timeout} ms
|
|
when boot failed, then reboot. If @var{rb_timeout} is '-1', guest will not
|
|
reboot, qemu passes '-1' to bios by default. Currently Seabios for X86
|
|
system support it.
|
|
|
|
Do strict boot via @option{strict=on} as far as firmware/BIOS
|
|
supports it. This only effects when boot priority is changed by
|
|
bootindex options. The default is non-strict boot.
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
# try to boot from network first, then from hard disk
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -boot order=nc
|
|
# boot from CD-ROM first, switch back to default order after reboot
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -boot once=d
|
|
# boot with a splash picture for 5 seconds.
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -boot menu=on,splash=/root/boot.bmp,splash-time=5000

These options define where is connected the drive by defining the bus number and
|
|
the unit id.
|
|
@item index=@var{index}
|
|
This option defines where is connected the drive by using an index in the list
|
|
of available connectors of a given interface type.
|
|
@item media=@var{media}
|
|
This option defines the type of the media: disk or cdrom.
|
|
@item cyls=@var{c},heads=@var{h},secs=@var{s}[,trans=@var{t}]
|
|
These options have the same definition as they have in @option{-hdachs}.
|
|
@item snapshot=@var{snapshot}
|
|
@var{snapshot} is "on" or "off" and allows to enable snapshot for given drive (see @option{-snapshot}).
|
|
@item cache=@var{cache}
|
|
@var{cache} is "none", "writeback", "unsafe", "directsync" or "writethrough" and controls how the host cache is used to access block data.
|
|
@item aio=@var{aio}
|
|
@var{aio} is "threads", or "native" and selects between pthread based disk I/O and native Linux AIO.
|
|
@item discard=@var{discard}
|
|
@var{discard} is one of "ignore" (or "off") or "unmap" (or "on") and controls whether @dfn{discard} (also known as @dfn{trim} or @dfn{unmap}) requests are ignored or passed to the filesystem. Some machine types may not support discard requests.
|
|
@item format=@var{format}
|
|
Specify which disk @var{format} will be used rather than detecting
|
|
the format. Can be used to specifiy format=raw to avoid interpreting
|
|
an untrusted format header.
|
|
@item serial=@var{serial}
|
|
This option specifies the serial number to assign to the device.
|
|
@item addr=@var{addr}
|
|
Specify the controller's PCI address (if=virtio only).
|
|
@item werror=@var{action},rerror=@var{action}
|
|
Specify which @var{action} to take on write and read errors. Valid actions are:
|
|
"ignore" (ignore the error and try to continue), "stop" (pause QEMU),
|
|
"report" (report the error to the guest), "enospc" (pause QEMU only if the
|
|
host disk is full; report the error to the guest otherwise).
|
|
The default setting is @option{werror=enospc} and @option{rerror=report}.
|
|
@item readonly
|
|
Open drive @option{file} as read-only. Guest write attempts will fail.
|
|
@item copy-on-read=@var{copy-on-read}
|
|
@var{copy-on-read} is "on" or "off" and enables whether to copy read backing
|
|
file sectors into the image file.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
By default, the @option{cache=writeback} mode is used. It will report data
|
|
writes as completed as soon as the data is present in the host page cache.
|
|
This is safe as long as your guest OS makes sure to correctly flush disk caches
|
|
where needed. If your guest OS does not handle volatile disk write caches
|
|
correctly and your host crashes or loses power, then the guest may experience
|
|
data corruption.
|
|
|
|
For such guests, you should consider using @option{cache=writethrough}. This
|
|
means that the host page cache will be used to read and write data, but write
|
|
notification will be sent to the guest only after QEMU has made sure to flush
|
|
each write to the disk. Be aware that this has a major impact on performance.
|
|
|
|
The host page cache can be avoided entirely with @option{cache=none}. This will
|
|
attempt to do disk IO directly to the guest's memory. QEMU may still perform
|
|
an internal copy of the data. Note that this is considered a writeback mode and
|
|
the guest OS must handle the disk write cache correctly in order to avoid data
|
|
corruption on host crashes.
|
|
|
|
The host page cache can be avoided while only sending write notifications to
|
|
the guest when the data has been flushed to the disk using
|
|
@option{cache=directsync}.
|
|
|
|
In case you don't care about data integrity over host failures, use
|
|
@option{cache=unsafe}. This option tells QEMU that it never needs to write any
|
|
data to the disk but can instead keep things in cache. If anything goes wrong,
|
|
like your host losing power, the disk storage getting disconnected accidentally,
|
|
etc. your image will most probably be rendered unusable. When using
|
|
the @option{-snapshot} option, unsafe caching is always used.
|
|
|
|
Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing file sectors repeatedly and is
|
|
useful when the backing file is over a slow network. By default copy-on-read
|
|
is off.
|
|
|
|
Instead of @option{-cdrom} you can use:
|
|
@example
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -drive file=file,index=2,media=cdrom
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Instead of @option{-hda}, @option{-hdb}, @option{-hdc}, @option{-hdd}, you can
|
|
use:
|
|
@example
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -drive file=file,index=0,media=disk
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -drive file=file,index=1,media=disk
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -drive file=file,index=2,media=disk
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -drive file=file,index=3,media=disk
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
You can open an image using pre-opened file descriptors from an fd set:
|
|
@example
|
|
qemu-system-i386
|
|
-add-fd fd=3,set=2,opaque="rdwr:/path/to/file"
|
|
-add-fd fd=4,set=2,opaque="rdonly:/path/to/file"
|
|
-drive file=/dev/fdset/2,index=0,media=disk
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
You can connect a CDROM to the slave of ide0:
|
|
@example
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -drive file=file,if=ide,index=1,media=cdrom
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
If you don't specify the "file=" argument, you define an empty drive:
|
|
@example
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -drive if=ide,index=1,media=cdrom
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
You can connect a SCSI disk with unit ID 6 on the bus #0:
|
|
@example
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -drive file=file,if=scsi,bus=0,unit=6
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Instead of @option{-fda}, @option{-fdb}, you can use:
|
|
@example
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -drive file=file,index=0,if=floppy
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -drive file=file,index=1,if=floppy
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
By default, @var{interface} is "ide" and @var{index} is automatically
|
|
incremented:
|
|
@example
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -drive file=a -drive file=b"
|
|
@end example
|
|
is interpreted like:
|
|
@example
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -hda a -hdb b

@item sasl
|

Require that the client use SASL to authenticate with the spice.
|

|
system / user's SASL configuration file for the 'qemu' service. This
|
|
is typically found in /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. If running QEMU as an

unprivileged user, an environment variable SASL_CONF_PATH can be used
|
|
to make it search alternate locations for the service config.
|
|
While some SASL auth methods can also provide data encryption (eg GSSAPI),
|
|
it is recommended that SASL always be combined with the 'tls' and
|
|
'x509' settings to enable use of SSL and server certificates. This
|
|
ensures a data encryption preventing compromise of authentication
|
|
credentials.

Normally, QEMU uses SDL to display the VGA output. With this option,
|
|
you can have QEMU listen on VNC display @var{display} and redirect the VGA
|
|
display over the VNC session. It is very useful to enable the usb
|
|
tablet device when using this option (option @option{-usbdevice
|
|
tablet}). When using the VNC display, you must use the @option{-k}
|
|
parameter to set the keyboard layout if you are not using en-us. Valid
|
|
syntax for the @var{display} is
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
|
|
@item @var{host}:@var{d}
|
|
|
|
TCP connections will only be allowed from @var{host} on display @var{d}.
|
|
By convention the TCP port is 5900+@var{d}. Optionally, @var{host} can
|
|
be omitted in which case the server will accept connections from any host.
|
|
|
|
@item unix:@var{path}
|
|
|
|
Connections will be allowed over UNIX domain sockets where @var{path} is the
|
|
location of a unix socket to listen for connections on.
|
|
|
|
@item none
|
|
|
|
VNC is initialized but not started. The monitor @code{change} command

|
|
|

@end table
|

Following the @var{display} value there may be one or more @var{option} flags
|
|
separated by commas. Valid options are
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
|
|
@item reverse
|
|
|
|
Connect to a listening VNC client via a ``reverse'' connection. The
|
|
client is specified by the @var{display}. For reverse network
|
|
connections (@var{host}:@var{d},@code{reverse}), the @var{d} argument
|
|
is a TCP port number, not a display number.
|
|
|
|
@item websocket
|
|
|
|
Opens an additional TCP listening port dedicated to VNC Websocket connections.
|
|
By definition the Websocket port is 5700+@var{display}. If @var{host} is
|
|
specified connections will only be allowed from this host.
|
|
As an alternative the Websocket port could be specified by using
|
|
@code{websocket}=@var{port}.
|
|
|
|
@item password
|
|
|
|
Require that password based authentication is used for client connections.
|
|
|
|
The password must be set separately using the @code{set_password} command in
|
|
the @ref{pcsys_monitor}. The syntax to change your password is:
|
|
@code{set_password <protocol> <password>} where <protocol> could be either
|
|
"vnc" or "spice".
|
|
|
|
If you would like to change <protocol> password expiration, you should use
|
|
@code{expire_password <protocol> <expiration-time>} where expiration time could
|
|
be one of the following options: now, never, +seconds or UNIX time of
|
|
expiration, e.g. +60 to make password expire in 60 seconds, or 1335196800
|
|
to make password expire on "Mon Apr 23 12:00:00 EDT 2012" (UNIX time for this
|
|
date and time).
|
|
|
|
You can also use keywords "now" or "never" for the expiration time to
|
|
allow <protocol> password to expire immediately or never expire.
|
|
|
|
@item tls
|
|
|
|
Require that client use TLS when communicating with the VNC server. This
|
|
uses anonymous TLS credentials so is susceptible to a man-in-the-middle
|
|
attack. It is recommended that this option be combined with either the
|
|
@option{x509} or @option{x509verify} options.
|
|
|
|
@item x509=@var{/path/to/certificate/dir}
|
|
|
|
Valid if @option{tls} is specified. Require that x509 credentials are used
|
|
for negotiating the TLS session. The server will send its x509 certificate
|
|
to the client. It is recommended that a password be set on the VNC server
|
|
to provide authentication of the client when this is used. The path following
|
|
this option specifies where the x509 certificates are to be loaded from.
|
|
See the @ref{vnc_security} section for details on generating certificates.
|
|
|
|
@item x509verify=@var{/path/to/certificate/dir}
|
|
|
|
Valid if @option{tls} is specified. Require that x509 credentials are used
|
|
for negotiating the TLS session. The server will send its x509 certificate
|
|
to the client, and request that the client send its own x509 certificate.
|
|
The server will validate the client's certificate against the CA certificate,
|
|
and reject clients when validation fails. If the certificate authority is
|
|
trusted, this is a sufficient authentication mechanism. You may still wish
|
|
to set a password on the VNC server as a second authentication layer. The
|
|
path following this option specifies where the x509 certificates are to
|
|
be loaded from. See the @ref{vnc_security} section for details on generating
|
|
certificates.
|
|
|
|
@item sasl
|
|
|
|
Require that the client use SASL to authenticate with the VNC server.
|
|
The exact choice of authentication method used is controlled from the
|
|
system / user's SASL configuration file for the 'qemu' service. This
|
|
is typically found in /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. If running QEMU as an
|
|
unprivileged user, an environment variable SASL_CONF_PATH can be used
|
|
to make it search alternate locations for the service config.
|
|
While some SASL auth methods can also provide data encryption (eg GSSAPI),
|
|
it is recommended that SASL always be combined with the 'tls' and
|
|
'x509' settings to enable use of SSL and server certificates. This
|
|
ensures a data encryption preventing compromise of authentication
|
|
credentials. See the @ref{vnc_security} section for details on using
|
|
SASL authentication.
|
|
|
|
@item acl
|
|
|
|
Turn on access control lists for checking of the x509 client certificate
|
|
and SASL party. For x509 certs, the ACL check is made against the
|
|
certificate's distinguished name. This is something that looks like
|
|
@code{C=GB,O=ACME,L=Boston,CN=bob}. For SASL party, the ACL check is
|
|
made against the username, which depending on the SASL plugin, may
|
|
include a realm component, eg @code{bob} or @code{bob@@EXAMPLE.COM}.
|
|
When the @option{acl} flag is set, the initial access list will be
|
|
empty, with a @code{deny} policy. Thus no one will be allowed to
|
|
use the VNC server until the ACLs have been loaded. This can be
|
|
achieved using the @code{acl} monitor command.
|
|
|
|
@item lossy
|
|
|
|
Enable lossy compression methods (gradient, JPEG, ...). If this
|
|
option is set, VNC client may receive lossy framebuffer updates
|
|
depending on its encoding settings. Enabling this option can save
|
|
a lot of bandwidth at the expense of quality.
|
|
|
|
@item non-adaptive
|
|
|
|
Disable adaptive encodings. Adaptive encodings are enabled by default.
|
|
An adaptive encoding will try to detect frequently updated screen regions,
|
|
and send updates in these regions using a lossy encoding (like JPEG).
|
|
This can be really helpful to save bandwidth when playing videos. Disabling
|
|
adaptive encodings allows to restore the original static behavior of encodings
|
|
like Tight.
|
|
|
|
@item share=[allow-exclusive|force-shared|ignore]
|
|
|
|
Set display sharing policy. 'allow-exclusive' allows clients to ask
|
|
for exclusive access. As suggested by the rfb spec this is
|
|
implemented by dropping other connections. Connecting multiple
|
|
clients in parallel requires all clients asking for a shared session
|
|
(vncviewer: -shared switch). This is the default. 'force-shared'
|
|
disables exclusive client access. Useful for shared desktop sessions,
|
|
where you don't want someone forgetting specify -shared disconnect
|
|
everybody else. 'ignore' completely ignores the shared flag and
|
|
allows everybody connect unconditionally. Doesn't conform to the rfb
|
|
spec but is traditional QEMU behavior.

|
|
@findex -net
|
|
Create a new Network Interface Card and connect it to VLAN @var{n} (@var{n}
|
|
= 0 is the default). The NIC is an e1000 by default on the PC
|
|
target. Optionally, the MAC address can be changed to @var{mac}, the
|
|
device address set to @var{addr} (PCI cards only),
|
|
and a @var{name} can be assigned for use in monitor commands.
|
|
Optionally, for PCI cards, you can specify the number @var{v} of MSI-X vectors
|
|
that the card should have; this option currently only affects virtio cards; set
|
|
@var{v} = 0 to disable MSI-X. If no @option{-net} option is specified, a single
|
|
NIC is created. QEMU can emulate several different models of network card.
|
|
Valid values for @var{type} are
|
|
@code{virtio}, @code{i82551}, @code{i82557b}, @code{i82559er},
|
|
@code{ne2k_pci}, @code{ne2k_isa}, @code{pcnet}, @code{rtl8139},
|
|
@code{e1000}, @code{smc91c111}, @code{lance} and @code{mcf_fec}.
|
|
Not all devices are supported on all targets. Use @code{-net nic,model=help}
|
|
for a list of available devices for your target.

@findex -netdev
|
|
@item -net user[,@var{option}][,@var{option}][,...]
|
|
Use the user mode network stack which requires no administrator
|
|
privilege to run. Valid options are:
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item vlan=@var{n}
|
|
Connect user mode stack to VLAN @var{n} (@var{n} = 0 is the default).
|
|
|
|
@item id=@var{id}
|
|
@item name=@var{name}
|
|
Assign symbolic name for use in monitor commands.
|
|
|
|
@item net=@var{addr}[/@var{mask}]
|
|
Set IP network address the guest will see. Optionally specify the netmask,
|
|
either in the form a.b.c.d or as number of valid top-most bits. Default is
|
|
10.0.2.0/24.
|
|
|
|
@item host=@var{addr}
|
|
Specify the guest-visible address of the host. Default is the 2nd IP in the
|
|
guest network, i.e. x.x.x.2.
|
|
|
|
@item restrict=on|off
|
|
If this option is enabled, the guest will be isolated, i.e. it will not be
|
|
able to contact the host and no guest IP packets will be routed over the host
|
|
to the outside. This option does not affect any explicitly set forwarding rules.
|
|
|
|
@item hostname=@var{name}
|
|
Specifies the client hostname reported by the built-in DHCP server.
|
|
|
|
@item dhcpstart=@var{addr}
|
|
Specify the first of the 16 IPs the built-in DHCP server can assign. Default
|
|
is the 15th to 31st IP in the guest network, i.e. x.x.x.15 to x.x.x.31.
|
|
|
|
@item dns=@var{addr}
|
|
Specify the guest-visible address of the virtual nameserver. The address must
|
|
be different from the host address. Default is the 3rd IP in the guest network,
|
|
i.e. x.x.x.3.
|
|
|
|
@item dnssearch=@var{domain}
|
|
Provides an entry for the domain-search list sent by the built-in
|
|
DHCP server. More than one domain suffix can be transmitted by specifying
|
|
this option multiple times. If supported, this will cause the guest to
|
|
automatically try to append the given domain suffix(es) in case a domain name
|
|
can not be resolved.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
@example
|
|
qemu -net user,dnssearch=mgmt.example.org,dnssearch=example.org [...]
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@item tftp=@var{dir}
|
|
When using the user mode network stack, activate a built-in TFTP
|
|
server. The files in @var{dir} will be exposed as the root of a TFTP server.
|
|
The TFTP client on the guest must be configured in binary mode (use the command
|
|
@code{bin} of the Unix TFTP client).
|
|
|
|
@item bootfile=@var{file}
|
|
When using the user mode network stack, broadcast @var{file} as the BOOTP
|
|
filename. In conjunction with @option{tftp}, this can be used to network boot
|
|
a guest from a local directory.
|
|
|
|
Example (using pxelinux):
|
|
@example
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -hda linux.img -boot n -net user,tftp=/path/to/tftp/files,bootfile=/pxelinux.0
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@item smb=@var{dir}[,smbserver=@var{addr}]
|
|
When using the user mode network stack, activate a built-in SMB
|
|
server so that Windows OSes can access to the host files in @file{@var{dir}}
|
|
transparently. The IP address of the SMB server can be set to @var{addr}. By
|
|
default the 4th IP in the guest network is used, i.e. x.x.x.4.
|
|
|
|
In the guest Windows OS, the line:
|
|
@example
|
|
10.0.2.4 smbserver
|
|
@end example
|
|
must be added in the file @file{C:\WINDOWS\LMHOSTS} (for windows 9x/Me)
|
|
or @file{C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\LMHOSTS} (Windows NT/2000).
|
|
|
|
Then @file{@var{dir}} can be accessed in @file{\\smbserver\qemu}.
|
|
|
|
Note that a SAMBA server must be installed on the host OS.
|
|
QEMU was tested successfully with smbd versions from Red Hat 9,
|
|
Fedora Core 3 and OpenSUSE 11.x.
|
|
|
|
@item hostfwd=[tcp|udp]:[@var{hostaddr}]:@var{hostport}-[@var{guestaddr}]:@var{guestport}
|
|
Redirect incoming TCP or UDP connections to the host port @var{hostport} to
|
|
the guest IP address @var{guestaddr} on guest port @var{guestport}. If
|
|
@var{guestaddr} is not specified, its value is x.x.x.15 (default first address
|
|
given by the built-in DHCP server). By specifying @var{hostaddr}, the rule can
|
|
be bound to a specific host interface. If no connection type is set, TCP is
|
|
used. This option can be given multiple times.
|
|
|
|
For example, to redirect host X11 connection from screen 1 to guest
|
|
screen 0, use the following:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
# on the host
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:6001-:6000 [...]
|
|
# this host xterm should open in the guest X11 server
|
|
xterm -display :1
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
To redirect telnet connections from host port 5555 to telnet port on
|
|
the guest, use the following:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
# on the host
|
|
qemu-system-i386 -net user,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:23 [...]
|
|
telnet localhost 5555
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Then when you use on the host @code{telnet localhost 5555}, you
|
|
connect to the guest telnet server.
|
|
|
|
@item guestfwd=[tcp]:@var{server}:@var{port}-@var{dev}
|
|
@item guestfwd=[tcp]:@var{server}:@var{port}-@var{cmd:command}
|
|
Forward guest TCP connections to the IP address @var{server} on port @var{port}
|
|
to the character device @var{dev} or to a program executed by @var{cmd:command}
|
|
which gets spawned for each connection. This option can be given multiple times.
|
|
|
|
You can either use a chardev directly and have that one used throughout QEMU's
|
|
lifetime, like in the following example:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
# open 10.10.1.1:4321 on bootup, connect 10.0.2.100:1234 to it whenever
|
|
# the guest accesses it
|
|
qemu -net user,guestfwd=tcp:10.0.2.100:1234-tcp:10.10.1.1:4321 [...]
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Or you can execute a command on every TCP connection established by the guest,
|
|
so that QEMU behaves similar to an inetd process for that virtual server:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
# call "netcat 10.10.1.1 4321" on every TCP connection to 10.0.2.100:1234
|
|
# and connect the TCP stream to its stdin/stdout
|
|
qemu -net 'user,guestfwd=tcp:10.0.2.100:1234-cmd:netcat 10.10.1.1 4321'
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
Note: Legacy stand-alone options -tftp, -bootp, -smb and -redir are still
|
|
processed and applied to -net user. Mixing them with the new configuration
|
|
syntax gives undefined results. Their use for new applications is discouraged
|
|
as they will be removed from future versions.
|
|

@item -netdev tap,id=@var{id}[,fd=@var{h}][,ifname=@var{name}][,script=@var{file}][,downscript=@var{dfile}][,helper=@var{helper}]
|
|
@item -net tap[,vlan=@var{n}][,name=@var{name}][,fd=@var{h}][,ifname=@var{name}][,script=@var{file}][,downscript=@var{dfile}][,helper=@var{helper}]
|
|
Connect the host TAP network interface @var{name} to VLAN @var{n}.
|
|
|
|
Use the network script @var{file} to configure it and the network script
|
|
@var{dfile} to deconfigure it. If @var{name} is not provided, the OS
|
|
automatically provides one. The default network configure script is
|
|
@file{/etc/qemu-ifup} and the default network deconfigure script is
|
|
@file{/etc/qemu-ifdown}. Use @option{script=no} or @option{downscript=no}
|
|
to disable script execution.
|
|
|
|
If running QEMU as an unprivileged user, use the network helper
|
|
@var{helper} to configure the TAP interface. The default network
|
|
helper executable is @file{/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper}.
|
|
|
|
@option{fd}=@var{h} can be used to specify the handle of an already
|
|
opened host TAP interface.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
#launch a QEMU instance with the default network script
|
|
qemu-system-i386 linux.img -net nic -net tap
|
|

|
|
|

@end example
|
|
|
|
@item -netdev bridge,id=@var{id}[,br=@var{bridge}][,helper=@var{helper}]
|
|
@item -net bridge[,vlan=@var{n}][,name=@var{name}][,br=@var{bridge}][,helper=@var{helper}]
|
|
Connect a host TAP network interface to a host bridge device.
|
|
|
|
Use the network helper @var{helper} to configure the TAP interface and
|
|
attach it to the bridge. The default network helper executable is
|
|
@file{/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper} and the default bridge
|
|
device is @file{br0}.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
#launch a QEMU instance with the default network helper to
|
|
#connect a TAP device to bridge br0
|
|
qemu-system-i386 linux.img -net bridge -net nic,model=virtio

|
|
@item -net socket[,vlan=@var{n}][,name=@var{name}][,fd=@var{h}] [,listen=[@var{host}]:@var{port}][,connect=@var{host}:@var{port}]
|
|
|
|
Connect the VLAN @var{n} to a remote VLAN in another QEMU virtual
|
|
machine using a TCP socket connection. If @option{listen} is
|
|
specified, QEMU waits for incoming connections on @var{port}
|
|
(@var{host} is optional). @option{connect} is used to connect to
|
|
another QEMU instance using the @option{listen} option. @option{fd}=@var{h}
|
|
specifies an already opened TCP socket.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
@example
|
|
# launch a first QEMU instance
|
|
qemu-system-i386 linux.img \
|
|
-net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 \
|
|
-net socket,listen=:1234
|
|
# connect the VLAN 0 of this instance to the VLAN 0
|
|
# of the first instance
|
|
qemu-system-i386 linux.img \
|
|
-net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:57 \
|
|
-net socket,connect=127.0.0.1:1234

|
@item -netdev socket,id=@var{id}[,fd=@var{h}][,mcast=@var{maddr}:@var{port}[,localaddr=@var{addr}]]
|
|
@item -net socket[,vlan=@var{n}][,name=@var{name}][,fd=@var{h}][,mcast=@var{maddr}:@var{port}[,localaddr=@var{addr}]]
|
|
|
|
Create a VLAN @var{n} shared with another QEMU virtual
|
|
machines using a UDP multicast socket, effectively making a bus for
|
|
every QEMU with same multicast address @var{maddr} and @var{port}.
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
@enumerate
|
|
@item
|
|
Several QEMU can be running on different hosts and share same bus (assuming
|
|
correct multicast setup for these hosts).
|
|
@item
|
|
mcast support is compatible with User Mode Linux (argument @option{eth@var{N}=mcast}), see
|
|
@url{http://user-mode-linux.sf.net}.
|
|
@item
|
|
Use @option{fd=h} to specify an already opened UDP multicast socket.

|
|
@item -net vde[,vlan=@var{n}][,name=@var{name}][,sock=@var{socketpath}] [,port=@var{n}][,group=@var{groupname}][,mode=@var{octalmode}]
|
|
Connect VLAN @var{n} to PORT @var{n} of a vde switch running on host and
|
|
listening for incoming connections on @var{socketpath}. Use GROUP @var{groupname}
|
|
and MODE @var{octalmode} to change default ownership and permissions for
|
|
communication port. This option is only available if QEMU has been compiled
|
|
with vde support enabled.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
@example
|
|
# launch vde switch
|
|
vde_switch -F -sock /tmp/myswitch
|
|
# launch QEMU instance
|
|
qemu-system-i386 linux.img -net nic -net vde,sock=/tmp/myswitch
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@item -netdev hubport,id=@var{id},hubid=@var{hubid}
|
|
|
|
Create a hub port on QEMU "vlan" @var{hubid}.
|
|
|
|
The hubport netdev lets you connect a NIC to a QEMU "vlan" instead of a single
|
|
netdev. @code{-net} and @code{-device} with parameter @option{vlan} create the
|
|
required hub automatically.
|
|
|
|
@item -net dump[,vlan=@var{n}][,file=@var{file}][,len=@var{len}]
|
|
Dump network traffic on VLAN @var{n} to file @var{file} (@file{qemu-vlan0.pcap} by default).
|
|
At most @var{len} bytes (64k by default) per packet are stored. The file format is
|
|
libpcap, so it can be analyzed with tools such as tcpdump or Wireshark.
|
|
|
|
@item -net none
|
|
Indicate that no network devices should be configured. It is used to
|
|
override the default configuration (@option{-net nic -net user}) which
|
|
is activated if no @option{-net} options are provided.

All devices must have an id, which can be any string up to 127 characters long.
|
|
It is used to uniquely identify this device in other command line directives.
|
|
|
|
A character device may be used in multiplexing mode by multiple front-ends.
|
|
The key sequence of @key{Control-a} and @key{c} will rotate the input focus
|
|
between attached front-ends. Specify @option{mux=on} to enable this mode.
|
|
|
|
Options to each backend are described below.
|
|
|

@option{port} is required.
|
|
|
|
@option{to} is only relevant to listening sockets. If it is specified, and
|
|
@option{port} cannot be bound, QEMU will attempt to bind to subsequent ports up
|
|
to and including @option{to} until it succeeds. @option{to} must be specified
|
|
as a port number.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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):

The general form of a TPM device option is:
|
|
@table @option
|
|
|
|
@item -tpmdev @var{backend} ,id=@var{id} [,@var{options}]
|
|
@findex -tpmdev
|
|
Backend type must be:
|
|
@option{passthrough}.
|
|
|
|
The specific backend type will determine the applicable options.
|
|
The @code{-tpmdev} option creates the TPM backend and requires a
|
|
@code{-device} option that specifies the TPM frontend interface model.
|
|
|
|
Options to each backend are described below.
|
|
|
|
Use 'help' to print all available TPM backend types.
|
|
@example
|
|
qemu -tpmdev help
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@item -tpmdev passthrough, id=@var{id}, path=@var{path}, cancel-path=@var{cancel-path}
|
|
|
|
(Linux-host only) Enable access to the host's TPM using the passthrough
|
|
driver.
|
|
|
|
@option{path} specifies the path to the host's TPM device, i.e., on
|
|
a Linux host this would be @code{/dev/tpm0}.
|
|
@option{path} is optional and by default @code{/dev/tpm0} is used.
|
|
|
|
@option{cancel-path} specifies the path to the host TPM device's sysfs
|
|
entry allowing for cancellation of an ongoing TPM command.
|
|
@option{cancel-path} is optional and by default QEMU will search for the
|
|
sysfs entry to use.
|
|
|
|
Some notes about using the host's TPM with the passthrough driver:
|
|
|
|
The TPM device accessed by the passthrough driver must not be
|
|
used by any other application on the host.
|
|
|
|
Since the host's firmware (BIOS/UEFI) has already initialized the TPM,
|
|
the VM's firmware (BIOS/UEFI) will not be able to initialize the
|
|
TPM again and may therefore not show a TPM-specific menu that would
|
|
otherwise allow the user to configure the TPM, e.g., allow the user to
|
|
enable/disable or activate/deactivate the TPM.
|
|
Further, if TPM ownership is released from within a VM then the host's TPM
|
|
will get disabled and deactivated. To enable and activate the
|
|
TPM again afterwards, the host has to be rebooted and the user is
|
|
required to enter the firmware's menu to enable and activate the TPM.
|
|
If the TPM is left disabled and/or deactivated most TPM commands will fail.
|
|
|
|
To create a passthrough TPM use the following two options:
|
|
@example
|
|
-tpmdev passthrough,id=tpm0 -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0
|
|
@end example
|
|
Note that the @code{-tpmdev} id is @code{tpm0} and is referenced by
|
|
@code{tpmdev=tpm0} in the device option.

@item null
|

void device
|
|
@item /dev/XXX
|

parameters are set according to the emulated ones.
|
|
@item /dev/parport@var{N}
|

@var{N}. Currently SPP and EPP parallel port features can be used.

[Windows only] Use host serial port @var{n}
|
|
@item udp:[@var{remote_host}]:@var{remote_port}[@@[@var{src_ip}]:@var{src_port}]
|
|
This implements UDP Net Console.
|
|
When @var{remote_host} or @var{src_ip} are not specified
|
|
they default to @code{0.0.0.0}.
|
|
When not using a specified @var{src_port} a random port is automatically chosen.
|
|
|
|
If you just want a simple readonly console you can use @code{netcat} or
|
|
@code{nc}, by starting QEMU with: @code{-serial udp::4555} and nc as:
|
|
@code{nc -u -l -p 4555}. Any time QEMU writes something to that port it
|
|
will appear in the netconsole session.
|
|
|
|
If you plan to send characters back via netconsole or you want to stop
|
|
and start QEMU a lot of times, you should have QEMU use the same
|
|
source port each time by using something like @code{-serial
|
|
udp::4555@@:4556} to QEMU. Another approach is to use a patched
|
|
version of netcat which can listen to a TCP port and send and receive
|
|
characters via udp. If you have a patched version of netcat which
|
|
activates telnet remote echo and single char transfer, then you can
|
|
use the following options to step up a netcat redirector to allow
|
|
telnet on port 5555 to access the QEMU port.
|
|
@table @code
|
|
@item QEMU Options:

|

The TCP Net Console has two modes of operation. It can send the serial
|
|
I/O to a location or wait for a connection from a location. By default
|
|
the TCP Net Console is sent to @var{host} at the @var{port}. If you use
|
|
the @var{server} option QEMU will wait for a client socket application
|
|
to connect to the port before continuing, unless the @code{nowait}
|
|
option was specified. The @code{nodelay} option disables the Nagle buffering
|
|
algorithm. If @var{host} is omitted, 0.0.0.0 is assumed. Only
|
|
one TCP connection at a time is accepted. You can use @code{telnet} to
|
|
connect to the corresponding character device.

@item telnet:@var{host}:@var{port}[,server][,nowait][,nodelay]
|
|
The telnet protocol is used instead of raw tcp sockets. The options
|
|
work the same as if you had specified @code{-serial tcp}. The
|
|
difference is that the port acts like a telnet server or client using
|
|
telnet option negotiation. This will also allow you to send the
|
|
MAGIC_SYSRQ sequence if you use a telnet that supports sending the break
|
|
sequence. Typically in unix telnet you do it with Control-] and then
|
|
type "send break" followed by pressing the enter key.
|
|
|
|
@item unix:@var{path}[,server][,nowait]
|
|
A unix domain socket is used instead of a tcp socket. The option works the
|
|
same as if you had specified @code{-serial tcp} except the unix domain socket
|
|
@var{path} is used for connections.
|
|
|
|
@item mon:@var{dev_string}
|
|
This is a special option to allow the monitor to be multiplexed onto
|
|
another serial port. The monitor is accessed with key sequence of
|
|
@key{Control-a} and then pressing @key{c}. See monitor access
|
|
@ref{pcsys_keys} in the -nographic section for more keys.
|
|
@var{dev_string} should be any one of the serial devices specified
|
|
above. An example to multiplex the monitor onto a telnet server
|
|
listening on port 4444 would be:
|
|

@item -rtc [base=utc|localtime|@var{date}][,clock=host|vm][,driftfix=none|slew]
|
|
@findex -rtc
|
|
Specify @option{base} as @code{utc} or @code{localtime} to let the RTC start at the current
|
|
UTC or local time, respectively. @code{localtime} is required for correct date in
|
|
MS-DOS or Windows. To start at a specific point in time, provide @var{date} in the
|
|
format @code{2006-06-17T16:01:21} or @code{2006-06-17}. The default base is UTC.
|
|
|
|
By default the RTC is driven by the host system time. This allows to use the
|
|
RTC as accurate reference clock inside the guest, specifically if the host
|
|
time is smoothly following an accurate external reference clock, e.g. via NTP.
|
|
If you want to isolate the guest time from the host, you can set @option{clock}
|
|
to @code{rt} instead. To even prevent it from progressing during suspension,
|
|
you can set it to @code{vm}.
|
|
|
|
Enable @option{driftfix} (i386 targets only) if you experience time drift problems,
|
|
specifically with Windows' ACPI HAL. This option will try to figure out how
|
|
many timer interrupts were not processed by the Windows guest and will
|
|
re-inject them.

Note that while this option can give deterministic behavior, it does not

@item -watchdog @var{model}

|

Create a virtual hardware watchdog device. Once enabled (by a guest

action), the watchdog must be periodically polled by an agent inside
|
|
the guest or else the guest will be restarted.
|
|
|
|
The @var{model} is the model of hardware watchdog to emulate. Choices
|
|
for model are: @code{ib700} (iBASE 700) which is a very simple ISA
|
|
watchdog with a single timer, or @code{i6300esb} (Intel 6300ESB I/O
|
|
controller hub) which is a much more featureful PCI-based dual-timer
|
|
watchdog. Choose a model for which your guest has drivers.
|
|

Use @code{-watchdog help} to list available hardware models. Only one
|
|
watchdog can be enabled for a guest.

@item -watchdog-action @var{action}
|
|
@findex -watchdog-action
|
|
|
|
The @var{action} controls what QEMU will do when the watchdog timer
|
|
expires.
|
|
The default is
|
|
@code{reset} (forcefully reset the guest).
|
|
Other possible actions are:
|
|
@code{shutdown} (attempt to gracefully shutdown the guest),
|
|
@code{poweroff} (forcefully poweroff the guest),
|
|
@code{pause} (pause the guest),
|
|
@code{debug} (print a debug message and continue), or
|
|
@code{none} (do nothing).
|
|
|
|
Note that the @code{shutdown} action requires that the guest responds
|
|
to ACPI signals, which it may not be able to do in the sort of
|
|
situations where the watchdog would have expired, and thus
|
|
@code{-watchdog-action shutdown} is not recommended for production use.
