The chardev should be a unix domain socket backed one. The vhost-user uses a specifically defined protocol to pass vhost ioctl replacement messages to an application on the other end of the socket. On non-MSIX guests, the feature can be forced with vhostforce. If model is omitted, then the default NIC model associated with the machine type is used. Optionally, the MAC address can be changed to mac, the device address set to addr PCI cards only , and a name can be assigned for use in monitor commands.
If no -net option is specified, a single NIC is created. QEMU can emulate several different models of network card. Configure a host network backend with the options corresponding to the same -netdev option and connect it to the emulated hub 0 the default hub. Use name to specify the name of the hub port. Backend is one of: null , socket , udp , msmouse , vc , ringbuf , file , pipe , console , serial , pty , stdio , braille , tty , parallel , parport , spicevmc , spiceport.
The specific backend will determine the applicable options. Use -chardev help to print all available chardev backend types. All devices must have an id, which can be any string up to 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. A multiplexer is a "1:N" device, and here the "1" end is your specified chardev backend, and the "N" end is the various parts of QEMU that can talk to a chardev.
Up to four different front ends can be connected to a single multiplexed chardev. Without multiplexing enabled, a chardev can only be used by a single front end. For instance you could use this to allow a single stdio chardev to be used by two serial ports and the QEMU monitor:. When you're using a multiplexed character device, some escape sequences are interpreted in the input. See the chapter about keys in the character backend multiplexer in the System Emulation Users Guide for more details.
Note that some other command line options may implicitly create multiplexed character backends; for instance -serial mon:stdio creates a multiplexed stdio backend connected to the serial port and the QEMU monitor, and -nographic also multiplexes the console and the monitor to stdio.
There is currently no support for multiplexing in the other direction where a single QEMU front end takes input and output from multiple chardevs. Every backend supports the logfile option, which supplies the path to a file to record all data transmitted via the backend. The logappend option controls whether the log file will be truncated or appended to when opened.
A void device. This device will not emit any data, and will drop any data it receives. The null backend does not take any options. Create a two-way stream socket, which can be either a TCP or a unix socket. A unix socket will be created if path is specified. Behaviour is undefined if TCP options are specified for a unix socket. Zero disables reconnecting, and is the default. The credentials must be previously created with the -object tls-creds argument.
This object is only resolved at time of use, so can be deleted and recreated on the fly while the chardev server is active. For a connecting socket species the remote host to connect to. If not specified it defaults to 0. For a connecting socket specifies the port on the remote host to connect to. If it is specified, and port cannot be bound, QEMU will attempt to bind to subsequent ports up to and including to until it succeeds.
If neither is specified the socket may use either protocol. Optional, defaults to false. Optional, defaults to true. If not specified it defaults to localhost. If not specified any available local port will be used. If neither is specified the device may use either protocol. Forward QEMU's emulated msmouse events to the guest. Create a ring buffer with fixed size size. This file will be created if it does not already exist, and overwritten if it does.
Create a two-way connection to the guest. The behaviour differs slightly between Windows hosts and other hosts:.
On other hosts, 2 pipes will be created called path. Data written to path. Data written by the guest can be read from path. QEMU will not create these fifos, and requires them to be present. Send traffic from the guest to QEMU's standard output. Create a new pseudo-terminal on the host and connect to it. It is an alias for serial. Connect to a spice port, allowing a Spice client to handle the traffic identified by a name preferably a fqdn.
The specific backend type will determine the applicable options. The -tpmdev option creates the TPM backend and requires a -device option that specifies the TPM frontend interface model. The TPM device accessed by the passthrough driver must not be used by any other application on the host. 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. When using these options, you can use a given Linux or Multiboot kernel without installing it in the disk image.
It can be useful for easier testing of various kernels. To insert contents with embedded NUL characters, you have to use the file parameter. Redirect the virtual serial port to host character device dev.
The default device is vc in graphical mode and stdio in non graphical mode. Use a named character device defined with the -chardev option.
The host serial port parameters are set according to the emulated ones. If you just want a simple readonly console you can use netcat or nc , by starting QEMU with: -serial udp and nc as: nc -u -l -p Any time QEMU writes something to that port it will appear in the netconsole session.
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 set up a netcat redirector to allow telnet on port to access the QEMU port. If host is omitted, 0. Only one TCP connection at a time is accepted. The telnet protocol is used instead of raw tcp sockets.
The options work the same as if you had specified -serial tcp. The difference is that the port acts like a telnet server or client using telnet option negotiation. Typically in unix telnet you do it with Control-] and then type "send break" followed by pressing the enter key. The WebSocket protocol is used instead of raw tcp socket. The port acts as a WebSocket server.
Client mode is not supported. A unix domain socket is used instead of a tcp socket. The option works the same as if you had specified -serial tcp except the unix domain socket path is used for connections.
This is a special option to allow the monitor to be multiplexed onto another serial port. The monitor is accessed with key sequence of Control-a and then pressing c. An example to multiplex the monitor onto a telnet server listening on port would be:. Redirect the virtual parallel port to host device dev same devices as the serial port. Redirect the monitor to host device dev same devices as the serial port. Use -monitor none to disable the default monitor.
Setup monitor on chardev name. Redirect the debug console to host device dev same devices as the serial port. Pause QEMU for interactive configuration before the machine is created, which allows querying and configuring properties that will affect machine initialization. Use QMP command 'x-exit-preconfig' to exit the preconfig state and move to the next state i.
This option is experimental. Run qemu with hints about host resource overcommit. The default is to assume that host overcommits all resources. This works when host memory is not overcommitted and reduces the worst-case latency for guest.
This works best when host CPU is not overcommitted. When used, host estimates of CPU cycle and power utilization will be incorrect, not taking into account guest idle time.
For example, a stdio connection allows you to start QEMU from within gdb and establish the connection via a pipe:. Shorthand for -gdb tcp , i. Filter debug output to that relevant to a range of target addresses.
Will dump output for any code in the 0x sized block starting at 0x and the 0x sized block starting at 0xffffffc and another 0x sized block starting at 0xffffffcf Force the guest to use a deterministic pseudo-random number generator, seeded with number. This does not affect crypto routines within the host. Enable KVM full virtualization support. This option is only available if KVM support is enabled when compiling.
Attach to existing xen domain. Restrict set of available xen operations to specified domain id XEN only. Don't exit QEMU on guest shutdown, but instead only stop the emulation. This allows for instance switching to monitor to commit changes to the disk image. The action parameter serves to modify QEMU's default behavior when certain guest events occur. It provides a generic method for specifying the same behaviors that are modified by the -no-reboot and -no-shutdown parameters.
Daemonize the QEMU process after initialization. QEMU will not detach from standard IO until it is ready to receive connections on any of its devices.
This option is a useful way for external programs to launch QEMU without having to cope with initialization race conditions. To start at a specific point in time, provide datetime in the format T or The default base is UTC. By default the RTC is driven by the host system time. This allows using of the RTC as accurate reference clock inside the guest, specifically if the host time is smoothly following an accurate external reference clock, e.
If you want to isolate the guest time from the host, you can set clock to rt instead, which provides a host monotonic clock if host support it. To even prevent the RTC from progressing during suspension, you can set clock to vm virtual clock. This option will try to figure out how many timer interrupts were not processed by the Windows guest and will re-inject them.
Enable virtual instruction counter. If auto is specified then the virtual cpu speed will be automatically adjusted to keep virtual time within a few seconds of real time. Note that while this option can give deterministic behavior, it does not provide cycle accurate emulation.
Modern CPUs contain superscalar out of order cores with complex cache hierarchies. The number of instructions executed often has little or no correlation with actual performance. This behavior gives deterministic execution times from the guest point of view. The goal is to have a guest running at the real frequency imposed by the shift option.
Currently this option does not work when shift is auto. Note: The sync algorithm will work for those shift values for which the guest clock runs ahead of the host clock. Typically this happens when the shift value is high how high depends on the host machine.
In record mode data is written to this file, and in replay mode it is read back. If the rrsnapshot option is given then it specifies a VM snapshot name. In record mode, a new VM snapshot with the given name is created at the start of execution recording. In replay mode this option specifies the snapshot name used to load the initial VM state.
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. Choose a model for which your guest has drivers. The model is the model of hardware watchdog to emulate. Use -watchdog help to list available hardware models. Only one watchdog can be enabled for a guest. The action controls what QEMU will do when the watchdog timer expires. The default is reset forcefully reset the guest.
Other possible actions are: shutdown attempt to gracefully shutdown the guest , poweroff forcefully poweroff the guest , inject-nmi inject a NMI into the guest , pause pause the guest , debug print a debug message and continue , or none do nothing.
Note that the 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 -watchdog-action shutdown is not recommended for production use.
Change the escape character used for switching to the monitor when using monitor and serial sharing. The default is 0x01 when using the -nographic option.
You can select a different character from the ascii control keys where 1 through 26 map to Control-a through Control-z. For instance you could use the either of the following to change the escape character to Control-t.
Don't create default devices. The -nodefaults option will disable all those default devices. Immediately before starting guest execution, chroot to the specified directory. Especially useful in combination with -runas. Immediately before starting guest execution, drop root privileges, switching to the specified user. Note that this allows guest direct access to the host filesystem, so should only be used with a trusted guest OS.
See the -semihosting-config option documentation for further information about the facilities this enables. Tensilica baremetal libc for ISS and linux platform "sim" use this interface.
The default is auto , which means gdb during debug sessions and native otherwise. Allows the user to pass input arguments, and can be used multiple times to build up a list.
Enable Seccomp mode 2 system call filter. The default is 'off'. Read device configuration from file. This approach is useful when you want to spawn QEMU process with many command line options but you don't want to exceed the command line character limit. The -no-user-config option makes QEMU not load any of the user-provided config files on sysconfdir.
This option is only available if QEMU has been compiled with the simple , log or ftrace tracing backend. To specify multiple events or patterns, specify the -trace option multiple times. Immediately enable events listed in FILE. The file must contain one event name as listed in the trace-events-all file per line; globbing patterns are accepted too.
Log output traces to FILE. This option is only available if QEMU has been compiled with the simple tracing backend. Prefix messages with guest name but only if -name guest option is set otherwise the option is ignored. Default is off.
Create a new object of type typename setting properties in the order they are specified. Note that the 'id' property must be set. The id parameter is a unique ID that will be used to reference this memory region in other parameters, e. The size option provides the size of the memory region, and accepts common suffixes, e. The mem-path provides the path to either a shared memory or huge page filesystem mount.
The share boolean option determines whether the memory region is marked as private to QEMU, or shared. The latter allows a co-operating external process to access the QEMU memory region.
Setting the discard-data boolean option to on indicates that file contents can be destroyed when QEMU exits, to avoid unnecessarily flushing data to the backing file.
Setting the dump boolean option to off excludes the memory from core dumps. The align option specifies the base address alignment when QEMU mmap 2 mem-path , and accepts common suffixes, eg 2M. In such cases, users can specify the required alignment via this option. The pmem option specifies whether the backing file specified by mem-path is in host persistent memory that can be accessed using the SNIA NVM programming model e. If pmem is set to 'on', QEMU will take necessary operations to guarantee the persistence of its own writes to mem-path e.
The readonly option specifies whether the backing file is opened read-only or read-write default. Dump guest memory to protocol. The file can be processed with crash or gdb. Without -z -l -s -w , the dump format is ELF. Show synchronization profiling info, up to max entries default: 10 , sorted by total wait time. The monitor understands integers expressions for every integer argument. QEMU latest. Inspect the VM state without an external debugger.
If the backing file is smaller than the snapshot, then the backing file will be resized to be the same size as the snapshot. Your VM should now have a working network connection.
If you see any other unrecognized devices in the Driver Manager of your Windows VM, you can install drivers for them the same way. Thanks for reading this article. I was born in Bangladesh. To do that, visit the Official Fedora Virtio Driver download page. Once the page loads, navigate to the Direct downloads section and download the stable virtio-win.
