125 |
@item -drive @var{option}[,@var{option}[,@var{option}[,...]]] |
126 |
@findex -drive |
127 |
|
128 |
Define a new drive. Valid options are: |
129 |
|
130 |
@table @option |
131 |
@item file=@var{file} |
132 |
This option defines which disk image (@pxref{disk_images}) to use with |
133 |
this drive. If the filename contains comma, you must double it |
134 |
(for instance, "file=my,,file" to use file "my,file"). |
135 |
@item if=@var{interface} |
136 |
This option defines on which type on interface the drive is connected. |
137 |
Available types are: ide, scsi, sd, mtd, floppy, pflash, virtio. |
138 |
@item bus=@var{bus},unit=@var{unit} |
139 |
These options define where is connected the drive by defining the bus number and |
140 |
the unit id. |
141 |
@item index=@var{index} |
142 |
This option defines where is connected the drive by using an index in the list |
143 |
of available connectors of a given interface type. |
144 |
@item media=@var{media} |
145 |
This option defines the type of the media: disk or cdrom. |
146 |
@item cyls=@var{c},heads=@var{h},secs=@var{s}[,trans=@var{t}] |
147 |
These options have the same definition as they have in @option{-hdachs}. |
148 |
@item snapshot=@var{snapshot} |
149 |
@var{snapshot} is "on" or "off" and allows to enable snapshot for given drive (see @option{-snapshot}). |
150 |
@item cache=@var{cache} |
151 |
@var{cache} is "none", "writeback", or "writethrough" and controls how the host cache is used to access block data. |
152 |
@item aio=@var{aio} |
153 |
@var{aio} is "threads", or "native" and selects between pthread based disk I/O and native Linux AIO. |
154 |
@item format=@var{format} |
155 |
Specify which disk @var{format} will be used rather than detecting |
156 |
the format. Can be used to specifiy format=raw to avoid interpreting |
157 |
an untrusted format header. |
158 |
@item serial=@var{serial} |
159 |
This option specifies the serial number to assign to the device. |
160 |
@item addr=@var{addr} |
161 |
Specify the controller's PCI address (if=virtio only). |
162 |
@end table |
163 |
|
164 |
By default, writethrough caching is used for all block device. This means that |
165 |
the host page cache will be used to read and write data but write notification |
166 |
will be sent to the guest only when the data has been reported as written by |
167 |
the storage subsystem. |
168 |
|
169 |
Writeback caching will report data writes as completed as soon as the data is |
170 |
present in the host page cache. This is safe as long as you trust your host. |
171 |
If your host crashes or loses power, then the guest may experience data |
172 |
corruption. When using the @option{-snapshot} option, writeback caching is |
173 |
used by default. |
174 |
|
175 |
The host page cache can be avoided entirely with @option{cache=none}. This will |
176 |
attempt to do disk IO directly to the guests memory. QEMU may still perform |
177 |
an internal copy of the data. |
178 |
|
179 |
Some block drivers perform badly with @option{cache=writethrough}, most notably, |
180 |
qcow2. If performance is more important than correctness, |
181 |
@option{cache=writeback} should be used with qcow2. |
182 |
|
183 |
Instead of @option{-cdrom} you can use: |
184 |
@example |
185 |
qemu -drive file=file,index=2,media=cdrom |
186 |
@end example |
187 |
|
188 |
Instead of @option{-hda}, @option{-hdb}, @option{-hdc}, @option{-hdd}, you can |
189 |
use: |
190 |
@example |
191 |
qemu -drive file=file,index=0,media=disk |
192 |
qemu -drive file=file,index=1,media=disk |
193 |
qemu -drive file=file,index=2,media=disk |
194 |
qemu -drive file=file,index=3,media=disk |
195 |
@end example |
196 |
|
197 |
You can connect a CDROM to the slave of ide0: |
198 |
@example |
199 |
qemu -drive file=file,if=ide,index=1,media=cdrom |
200 |
@end example |
201 |
|
202 |
If you don't specify the "file=" argument, you define an empty drive: |
203 |
@example |
204 |
qemu -drive if=ide,index=1,media=cdrom |
205 |
@end example |
206 |
|
207 |
You can connect a SCSI disk with unit ID 6 on the bus #0: |
208 |
@example |
209 |
qemu -drive file=file,if=scsi,bus=0,unit=6 |
210 |
@end example |
211 |
|
212 |
Instead of @option{-fda}, @option{-fdb}, you can use: |
213 |
@example |
214 |
qemu -drive file=file,index=0,if=floppy |
215 |
qemu -drive file=file,index=1,if=floppy |
216 |
@end example |
217 |
|
218 |
By default, @var{interface} is "ide" and @var{index} is automatically |
219 |
incremented: |
220 |
@example |
221 |
qemu -drive file=a -drive file=b" |
222 |
@end example |
223 |
is interpreted like: |
224 |
@example |
225 |
qemu -hda a -hdb b |
226 |
@end example |

Connect to a listening VNC client via a ``reverse'' connection. The |
725 |
client is specified by the @var{display}. For reverse network |
726 |
connections (@var{host}:@var{d},@code{reverse}), the @var{d} argument |
727 |
is a TCP port number, not a display number. |
728 |

@item password |

734 |
|
735 |
@item tls |
736 |
|
737 |
Require that client use TLS when communicating with the VNC server. This |
738 |
uses anonymous TLS credentials so is susceptible to a man-in-the-middle |
739 |
attack. It is recommended that this option be combined with either the |
740 |
@option{x509} or @option{x509verify} options. |
741 |
|
742 |
@item x509=@var{/path/to/certificate/dir} |
743 |
|
744 |
Valid if @option{tls} is specified. Require that x509 credentials are used |
745 |
for negotiating the TLS session. The server will send its x509 certificate |
746 |
to the client. It is recommended that a password be set on the VNC server |
747 |
to provide authentication of the client when this is used. The path following |
748 |
this option specifies where the x509 certificates are to be loaded from. |
749 |
See the @ref{vnc_security} section for details on generating certificates. |
750 |
|
751 |
@item x509verify=@var{/path/to/certificate/dir} |
752 |
|
753 |
Valid if @option{tls} is specified. Require that x509 credentials are used |
754 |
for negotiating the TLS session. The server will send its x509 certificate |
755 |
to the client, and request that the client send its own x509 certificate. |
756 |
The server will validate the client's certificate against the CA certificate, |
757 |
and reject clients when validation fails. If the certificate authority is |
758 |
trusted, this is a sufficient authentication mechanism. You may still wish |
759 |
to set a password on the VNC server as a second authentication layer. The |
760 |
path following this option specifies where the x509 certificates are to |
761 |
be loaded from. See the @ref{vnc_security} section for details on generating |
762 |
certificates. |
763 |
|
764 |
@item sasl |
765 |
|
766 |
Require that the client use SASL to authenticate with the VNC server. |
767 |
The exact choice of authentication method used is controlled from the |
768 |
system / user's SASL configuration file for the 'qemu' service. This |
769 |
is typically found in /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. If running QEMU as an |
770 |
unprivileged user, an environment variable SASL_CONF_PATH can be used |
771 |
to make it search alternate locations for the service config. |
772 |
While some SASL auth methods can also provide data encryption (eg GSSAPI), |
773 |
it is recommended that SASL always be combined with the 'tls' and |
774 |
'x509' settings to enable use of SSL and server certificates. This |
775 |
ensures a data encryption preventing compromise of authentication |
776 |
credentials. See the @ref{vnc_security} section for details on using |
777 |
SASL authentication. |
778 |
|
779 |
@item acl |
780 |
|
781 |
Turn on access control lists for checking of the x509 client certificate |
782 |
and SASL party. For x509 certs, the ACL check is made against the |
783 |
certificate's distinguished name. This is something that looks like |
784 |
@code{C=GB,O=ACME,L=Boston,CN=bob}. For SASL party, the ACL check is |
785 |
made against the username, which depending on the SASL plugin, may |
786 |
include a realm component, eg @code{bob} or @code{bob@@EXAMPLE.COM}. |
787 |
When the @option{acl} flag is set, the initial access list will be |
788 |
empty, with a @code{deny} policy. Thus no one will be allowed to |
789 |
use the VNC server until the ACLs have been loaded. This can be |
790 |
achieved using the @code{acl} monitor command. |

969 |
@findex -net |
970 |
Create a new Network Interface Card and connect it to VLAN @var{n} (@var{n} |
971 |
= 0 is the default). The NIC is an e1000 by default on the PC |
972 |
target. Optionally, the MAC address can be changed to @var{mac}, the |
973 |
device address set to @var{addr} (PCI cards only), |
974 |
and a @var{name} can be assigned for use in monitor commands. |
975 |
Optionally, for PCI cards, you can specify the number @var{v} of MSI-X vectors |
976 |
that the card should have; this option currently only affects virtio cards; set |
977 |
@var{v} = 0 to disable MSI-X. If no @option{-net} option is specified, a single |
978 |
NIC is created. Qemu can emulate several different models of network card. |
979 |
Valid values for @var{type} are |
980 |
@code{virtio}, @code{i82551}, @code{i82557b}, @code{i82559er}, |
981 |
@code{ne2k_pci}, @code{ne2k_isa}, @code{pcnet}, @code{rtl8139}, |
982 |
@code{e1000}, @code{smc91c111}, @code{lance} and @code{mcf_fec}. |
983 |
Not all devices are supported on all targets. Use -net nic,model=? |
984 |
for a list of available devices for your target. |
985 |
|
986 |
@item -net user[,@var{option}][,@var{option}][,...] |
987 |
Use the user mode network stack which requires no administrator |
988 |
privilege to run. Valid options are: |
989 |
|
990 |
@table @option |
991 |
@item vlan=@var{n} |
992 |
Connect user mode stack to VLAN @var{n} (@var{n} = 0 is the default). |
993 |
|
994 |
@item name=@var{name} |
995 |
Assign symbolic name for use in monitor commands. |
996 |
|
997 |
@item net=@var{addr}[/@var{mask}] |
998 |
Set IP network address the guest will see. Optionally specify the netmask, |
999 |
either in the form a.b.c.d or as number of valid top-most bits. Default is |
1000 |
10.0.2.0/8. |
1001 |
|
1002 |
@item host=@var{addr} |
1003 |
Specify the guest-visible address of the host. Default is the 2nd IP in the |
1004 |
guest network, i.e. x.x.x.2. |
1005 |
|
1006 |
@item restrict=y|yes|n|no |
1007 |
If this options is enabled, the guest will be isolated, i.e. it will not be |
1008 |
able to contact the host and no guest IP packets will be routed over the host |
1009 |
to the outside. This option does not affect explicitly set forwarding rule. |
1010 |
|
1011 |
@item hostname=@var{name} |
1012 |
Specifies the client hostname reported by the builtin DHCP server. |
1013 |
|
1014 |
@item dhcpstart=@var{addr} |
1015 |
Specify the first of the 16 IPs the built-in DHCP server can assign. Default |
1016 |
is the 16th to 31st IP in the guest network, i.e. x.x.x.16 to x.x.x.31. |
1017 |
|
1018 |
@item dns=@var{addr} |
1019 |
Specify the guest-visible address of the virtual nameserver. The address must |
1020 |
be different from the host address. Default is the 3rd IP in the guest network, |
1021 |
i.e. x.x.x.3. |
1022 |
|
1023 |
@item tftp=@var{dir} |
1024 |
When using the user mode network stack, activate a built-in TFTP |
1025 |
server. The files in @var{dir} will be exposed as the root of a TFTP server. |
1026 |
The TFTP client on the guest must be configured in binary mode (use the command |
1027 |
@code{bin} of the Unix TFTP client). |
1028 |
|
1029 |
@item bootfile=@var{file} |
1030 |
When using the user mode network stack, broadcast @var{file} as the BOOTP |
1031 |
filename. In conjunction with @option{tftp}, this can be used to network boot |
1032 |
a guest from a local directory. |
1033 |
|
1034 |
Example (using pxelinux): |
1035 |
@example |
1036 |
qemu -hda linux.img -boot n -net user,tftp=/path/to/tftp/files,bootfile=/pxelinux.0 |
1037 |
@end example |
1038 |
|
1039 |
@item smb=@var{dir}[,smbserver=@var{addr}] |
1040 |
When using the user mode network stack, activate a built-in SMB |
1041 |
server so that Windows OSes can access to the host files in @file{@var{dir}} |
1042 |
transparently. The IP address of the SMB server can be set to @var{addr}. By |
1043 |
default the 4th IP in the guest network is used, i.e. x.x.x.4. |
1044 |
|
1045 |
In the guest Windows OS, the line: |
1046 |
@example |
1047 |
10.0.2.4 smbserver |
1048 |
@end example |
1049 |
must be added in the file @file{C:\WINDOWS\LMHOSTS} (for windows 9x/Me) |
1050 |
or @file{C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\LMHOSTS} (Windows NT/2000). |
1051 |
|
1052 |
Then @file{@var{dir}} can be accessed in @file{\\smbserver\qemu}. |
1053 |
|
1054 |
Note that a SAMBA server must be installed on the host OS in |
1055 |
@file{/usr/sbin/smbd}. QEMU was tested successfully with smbd versions from |
1056 |
Red Hat 9, Fedora Core 3 and OpenSUSE 11.x. |
1057 |
|
1058 |
@item hostfwd=[tcp|udp]:[@var{hostaddr}]:@var{hostport}-[@var{guestaddr}]:@var{guestport} |
1059 |
Redirect incoming TCP or UDP connections to the host port @var{hostport} to |
1060 |
the guest IP address @var{guestaddr} on guest port @var{guestport}. If |
1061 |
@var{guestaddr} is not specified, its value is x.x.x.15 (default first address |
1062 |
given by the built-in DHCP server). By specifying @var{hostaddr}, the rule can |
1063 |
be bound to a specific host interface. If no connection type is set, TCP is |
1064 |
used. This option can be given multiple times. |
1065 |
|
1066 |
For example, to redirect host X11 connection from screen 1 to guest |
1067 |
screen 0, use the following: |
1068 |
|
1069 |
@example |
1070 |
# on the host |
1071 |
qemu -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:6001-:6000 [...] |
1072 |
# this host xterm should open in the guest X11 server |
1073 |
xterm -display :1 |
1074 |
@end example |
1075 |
|
1076 |
To redirect telnet connections from host port 5555 to telnet port on |
1077 |
the guest, use the following: |
1078 |
|
1079 |
@example |
1080 |
# on the host |
1081 |
qemu -net user,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:23 [...] |
1082 |
telnet localhost 5555 |
1083 |
@end example |
1084 |
|
1085 |
Then when you use on the host @code{telnet localhost 5555}, you |
1086 |
connect to the guest telnet server. |
1087 |
|
1088 |
@item guestfwd=[tcp]:@var{server}:@var{port}-@var{dev} |
1089 |
Forward guest TCP connections to the IP address @var{server} on port @var{port} |
1090 |
to the character device @var{dev}. This option can be given multiple times. |
1091 |
|
1092 |
@end table |
1093 |
|
1094 |
Note: Legacy stand-alone options -tftp, -bootp, -smb and -redir are still |
1095 |
processed and applied to -net user. Mixing them with the new configuration |
1096 |
syntax gives undefined results. Their use for new applications is discouraged |
1097 |
as they will be removed from future versions. |
1098 |
|
1099 |
@item -net tap[,vlan=@var{n}][,name=@var{name}][,fd=@var{h}][,ifname=@var{name}] [,script=@var{file}][,downscript=@var{dfile}] |
1100 |
Connect the host TAP network interface @var{name} to VLAN @var{n}, use |
1101 |
the network script @var{file} to configure it and the network script |
1102 |
@var{dfile} to deconfigure it. If @var{name} is not provided, the OS |
1103 |
automatically provides one. @option{fd}=@var{h} can be used to specify |
1104 |
the handle of an already opened host TAP interface. The default network |
1105 |
configure script is @file{/etc/qemu-ifup} and the default network |
1106 |
deconfigure script is @file{/etc/qemu-ifdown}. Use @option{script=no} |
1107 |
or @option{downscript=no} to disable script execution. Example: |
1108 |
|
1109 |
@example |
1110 |
qemu linux.img -net nic -net tap |
1111 |
@end example |
1112 |
|
1113 |
More complicated example (two NICs, each one connected to a TAP device) |
1114 |
@example |
1115 |
qemu linux.img -net nic,vlan=0 -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap0 \ |
1116 |
-net nic,vlan=1 -net tap,vlan=1,ifname=tap1 |

@item -net socket[,vlan=@var{n}][,name=@var{name}][,fd=@var{h}] [,listen=[@var{host}]:@var{port}][,connect=@var{host}:@var{port}] |
1120 |
|
1121 |
Connect the VLAN @var{n} to a remote VLAN in another QEMU virtual |
1122 |
machine using a TCP socket connection. If @option{listen} is |
1123 |
specified, QEMU waits for incoming connections on @var{port} |
1124 |
(@var{host} is optional). @option{connect} is used to connect to |
1125 |
another QEMU instance using the @option{listen} option. @option{fd}=@var{h} |
1126 |
specifies an already opened TCP socket. |
1127 |
|
1128 |
Example: |
1129 |
@example |
1130 |
# launch a first QEMU instance |
1131 |
qemu linux.img -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 \ |
1132 |
-net socket,listen=:1234 |
1133 |
# connect the VLAN 0 of this instance to the VLAN 0 |
1134 |
# of the first instance |
1135 |
qemu linux.img -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:57 \ |
1136 |
-net socket,connect=127.0.0.1:1234 |
1137 |
@end example |
1138 |
|
1139 |
@item -net socket[,vlan=@var{n}][,name=@var{name}][,fd=@var{h}] [,mcast=@var{maddr}:@var{port}] |
1140 |
|
1141 |
Create a VLAN @var{n} shared with another QEMU virtual |
1142 |
machines using a UDP multicast socket, effectively making a bus for |
1143 |
every QEMU with same multicast address @var{maddr} and @var{port}. |
1144 |
NOTES: |
1145 |
@enumerate |
1146 |
@item |
1147 |
Several QEMU can be running on different hosts and share same bus (assuming |
1148 |
correct multicast setup for these hosts). |
1149 |
@item |
1150 |
mcast support is compatible with User Mode Linux (argument @option{eth@var{N}=mcast}), see |
1151 |
@url{http://user-mode-linux.sf.net}. |
1152 |

1180 |
Connect VLAN @var{n} to PORT @var{n} of a vde switch running on host and |
1181 |
listening for incoming connections on @var{socketpath}. Use GROUP @var{groupname} |
1182 |
and MODE @var{octalmode} to change default ownership and permissions for |
1183 |
communication port. This option is available only if QEMU has been compiled |
1184 |

The general form of a character device option is: |
1246 |
@table @option |
1247 |
|
1248 |
@item -chardev @var{backend} ,id=@var{id} [,mux=on|off] [,@var{options}] |
1249 |
@findex -chardev |
1250 |
Backend is one of: |
1251 |
@option{null}, |
1252 |
@option{socket}, |
1253 |
@option{udp}, |
1254 |
@option{msmouse}, |
1255 |
@option{vc}, |
1256 |
@option{file}, |
1257 |
@option{pipe}, |
1258 |
@option{console}, |
1259 |
@option{serial}, |
1260 |
@option{pty}, |
1261 |
@option{stdio}, |
1262 |
@option{braille}, |
1263 |
@option{tty}, |
1264 |
@option{parport}. |
1265 |
The specific backend will determine the applicable options. |
1266 |
|
1267 |
All devices must have an id, which can be any string up to 127 characters long. |
1268 |
It is used to uniquely identify this device in other command line directives. |
1269 |
|
1270 |
A character device may be used in multiplexing mode by multiple front-ends. |
1271 |
The key sequence of @key{Control-a} and @key{c} will rotate the input focus |
1272 |
between attached front-ends. Specify @option{mux=on} to enable this mode. |
1273 |
|
1274 |
Options to each backend are described below. |
1275 |
|
1276 |
@item -chardev null ,id=@var{id} |
1277 |
A void device. This device will not emit any data, and will drop any data it |
1278 |
receives. The null backend does not take any options. |
1279 |
|
1280 |
@item -chardev socket ,id=@var{id} [@var{TCP options} or @var{unix options}] [,server] [,nowait] [,telnet] |
1281 |
|
1282 |
Create a two-way stream socket, which can be either a TCP or a unix socket. A |
1283 |
unix socket will be created if @option{path} is specified. Behaviour is |
1284 |
undefined if TCP options are specified for a unix socket. |
1285 |
|
1286 |
@option{server} specifies that the socket shall be a listening socket. |
1287 |
|
1288 |
@option{nowait} specifies that QEMU should not block waiting for a client to |
1289 |
connect to a listening socket. |
1290 |
|
1291 |
@option{telnet} specifies that traffic on the socket should interpret telnet |
1292 |
escape sequences. |
1293 |
|
1294 |
TCP and unix socket options are given below: |
1295 |
|
1296 |
@table @option |
1297 |
|
1298 |
@item TCP options: port=@var{port} [,host=@var{host}] [,to=@var{to}] [,ipv4] [,ipv6] [,nodelay] |
1299 |
|
1300 |
@option{host} for a listening socket specifies the local address to be bound. |
1301 |
For a connecting socket species the remote host to connect to. @option{host} is |
1302 |
optional for listening sockets. If not specified it defaults to @code{0.0.0.0}. |
1303 |
|
1304 |
@option{port} for a listening socket specifies the local port to be bound. For a |
1305 |
connecting socket specifies the port on the remote host to connect to. |
1306 |
@option{port} can be given as either a port number or a service name. |
1307 |
@option{port} is required. |
1308 |
|
1309 |
@option{to} is only relevant to listening sockets. If it is specified, and |
1310 |
@option{port} cannot be bound, QEMU will attempt to bind to subsequent ports up |
1311 |
to and including @option{to} until it succeeds. @option{to} must be specified |
1312 |
as a port number. |
1313 |
|
1314 |
@option{ipv4} and @option{ipv6} specify that either IPv4 or IPv6 must be used. |
1315 |
If neither is specified the socket may use either protocol. |
1316 |
|
1317 |
@option{nodelay} disables the Nagle algorithm. |
1318 |
|
1319 |
@item unix options: path=@var{path} |
1320 |
|
1321 |
@option{path} specifies the local path of the unix socket. @option{path} is |

1327 |
|
1328 |
Sends all traffic from the guest to a remote host over UDP. |
1329 |
|

1331 |
defaults to @code{localhost}. |
1332 |
|
1333 |
@option{port} specifies the port on the remote host to connect to. @option{port} |
1334 |
is required. |
1335 |
|
1336 |
@option{localaddr} specifies the local address to bind to. If not specified it |
1337 |
defaults to @code{0.0.0.0}. |
1338 |
|
1339 |
@option{localport} specifies the local port to bind to. If not specified any |
1340 |
available local port will be used. |
1341 |
|
1342 |
@option{ipv4} and @option{ipv6} specify that either IPv4 or IPv6 must be used. |
1343 |
If neither is specified the device may use either protocol. |
1344 |
|
1345 |
@item -chardev msmouse ,id=@var{id} |
1346 |
|
1347 |
Forward QEMU's emulated msmouse events to the guest. @option{msmouse} does not |
1348 |
take any options. |
1349 |
|
1350 |

1362 |
|
1363 |
Log all traffic received from the guest to a file. |
1364 |
|
1365 |
@option{path} specifies the path of the file to be opened. This file will be |
1366 |
created if it does not already exist, and overwritten if it does. @option{path} |
1367 |
is required. |
1368 |
|
1369 |
@item -chardev pipe ,id=@var{id} ,path=@var{path} |
1370 |
|
1371 |
Create a two-way connection to the guest. The behaviour differs slightly between |
1372 |
Windows hosts and other hosts: |
1373 |
|
1374 |
On Windows, a single duplex pipe will be created at |
1375 |
@file{\\.pipe\@option{path}}. |
1376 |
|
1377 |
On other hosts, 2 pipes will be created called @file{@option{path}.in} and |
1378 |
@file{@option{path}.out}. Data written to @file{@option{path}.in} will be |
1379 |
received by the guest. Data written by the guest can be read from |
1380 |
@file{@option{path}.out}. QEMU will not create these fifos, and requires them to |
1381 |
be present. |
1382 |
|
1383 |
@option{path} forms part of the pipe path as described above. @option{path} is |
1384 |

@item udp:[@var{remote_host}]:@var{remote_port}[@@[@var{src_ip}]:@var{src_port}] |
1614 |
This implements UDP Net Console. |
1615 |
When @var{remote_host} or @var{src_ip} are not specified |
1616 |
they default to @code{0.0.0.0}. |
1617 |
When not using a specified @var{src_port} a random port is automatically chosen. |
1618 |
|
1619 |
If you just want a simple readonly console you can use @code{netcat} or |
1620 |
@code{nc}, by starting qemu with: @code{-serial udp::4555} and nc as: |
1621 |
@code{nc -u -l -p 4555}. Any time qemu writes something to that port it |
1622 |
will appear in the netconsole session. |
1623 |
|
1624 |
If you plan to send characters back via netconsole or you want to stop |
1625 |
and start qemu a lot of times, you should have qemu use the same |
1626 |
source port each time by using something like @code{-serial |
1627 |
udp::4555@@:4556} to qemu. Another approach is to use a patched |
1628 |
version of netcat which can listen to a TCP port and send and receive |
1629 |
characters via udp. If you have a patched version of netcat which |
1630 |
activates telnet remote echo and single char transfer, then you can |
1631 |
use the following options to step up a netcat redirector to allow |
1632 |
telnet on port 5555 to access the qemu port. |

1643 |
The TCP Net Console has two modes of operation. It can send the serial |
1644 |
I/O to a location or wait for a connection from a location. By default |
1645 |
the TCP Net Console is sent to @var{host} at the @var{port}. If you use |
1646 |
the @var{server} option QEMU will wait for a client socket application |
1647 |
to connect to the port before continuing, unless the @code{nowait} |
1648 |
option was specified. The @code{nodelay} option disables the Nagle buffering |
1649 |
algorithm. If @var{host} is omitted, 0.0.0.0 is assumed. Only |
1650 |
one TCP connection at a time is accepted. You can use @code{telnet} to |
1651 |
connect to the corresponding character device. |

1662 |
The telnet protocol is used instead of raw tcp sockets. The options |
1663 |
work the same as if you had specified @code{-serial tcp}. The |
1664 |
difference is that the port acts like a telnet server or client using |
1665 |
telnet option negotiation. This will also allow you to send the |
1666 |
MAGIC_SYSRQ sequence if you use a telnet that supports sending the break |
1667 |
sequence. Typically in unix telnet you do it with Control-] and then |
1668 |
type "send break" followed by pressing the enter key. |
1669 |
|
1670 |
@item unix:@var{path}[,server][,nowait] |
1671 |
A unix domain socket is used instead of a tcp socket. The option works the |

1673 |
@var{path} is used for connections. |

@ref{pcsys_keys} in the -nographic section for more keys. |

@var{dev_string} should be any one of the serial devices specified |

instruction every 2^@var{N} ns of virtual time. If @code{auto} is specified |
1979 |
then the virtual cpu speed will be automatically adjusted to keep virtual |
1980 |
time within a few seconds of real time. |
1981 |
|
1982 |
Note that while this option can give deterministic behavior, it does not |
1983 |
provide cycle accurate emulation. Modern CPUs contain superscalar out of |
1984 |
order cores with complex cache hierarchies. The number of instructions |
1985 |
executed often has little or no correlation with actual performance. |

1995 |
Create a virtual hardware watchdog device. Once enabled (by a guest |
1996 |
action), the watchdog must be periodically polled by an agent inside |
1997 |
the guest or else the guest will be restarted. |
1998 |
|
1999 |
The @var{model} is the model of hardware watchdog to emulate. Choices |
2000 |
for model are: @code{ib700} (iBASE 700) which is a very simple ISA |
2001 |
watchdog with a single timer, or @code{i6300esb} (Intel 6300ESB I/O |
2002 |
controller hub) which is a much more featureful PCI-based dual-timer |
2003 |
watchdog. Choose a model for which your guest has drivers. |
2004 |
|
2005 |
Use @code{-watchdog ?} to list available hardware models. Only one |
2006 |
watchdog can be enabled for a guest. |

2015 |
|
2016 |
The @var{action} controls what QEMU will do when the watchdog timer |
2017 |
expires. |
2018 |
The default is |
2019 |
@code{reset} (forcefully reset the guest). |
2020 |
Other possible actions are: |
2021 |
@code{shutdown} (attempt to gracefully shutdown the guest), |
2022 |
@code{poweroff} (forcefully poweroff the guest), |
2023 |
@code{pause} (pause the guest), |
2024 |
@code{debug} (print a debug message and continue), or |
2025 |
@code{none} (do nothing). |
2026 |
|
2027 |
Note that the @code{shutdown} action requires that the guest responds |
2028 |
to ACPI signals, which it may not be able to do in the sort of |
2029 |
situations where the watchdog would have expired, and thus |
2030 |
@code{-watchdog-action shutdown} is not recommended for production use. |
