QEMU has two operating modes: @itemize @cindex operating modes @item @cindex system emulation Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for example a PC), including one or several processors and various peripherals. It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting the PC or to debug system code. @item @cindex user mode emulation User mode emulation. In this mode, QEMU can launch processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used to launch the Wine Windows API emulator (@url{http://www.winehq.org}) or to ease cross-compilation and cross-debugging. @end itemize QEMU can run without a host kernel driver and yet gives acceptable performance.

Note that adlib, gus and cs4231a are only available when QEMU was configured with --audio-card-list option containing the name(s) of required card(s). QEMU uses the PC BIOS from the Bochs project and the Plex86/Bochs LGPL VGA BIOS. QEMU uses YM3812 emulation by Tatsuyuki Satoh. QEMU uses GUS emulation (GUSEMU32 @url{http://www.deinmeister.de/gusemu/}) by Tibor "TS" Schütz. Note that, by default, GUS shares IRQ(7) with parallel ports and so QEMU must be told to not have parallel ports to have working GUS. @example qemu-system-i386 dos.img -soundhw gus -parallel none @end example Alternatively: @example qemu-system-i386 dos.img -device gus,irq=5 @end example Or some other unclaimed IRQ.

Version 0.8.3 added the new qcow2 disk image format which is essential to support VM snapshots. @menu * disk_images_quickstart:: Quick start for disk image creation * disk_images_snapshot_mode:: Snapshot mode * vm_snapshots:: VM snapshots * qemu_img_invocation:: qemu-img Invocation * qemu_nbd_invocation:: qemu-nbd Invocation * disk_images_formats:: Disk image file formats * host_drives:: Using host drives * disk_images_fat_images:: Virtual FAT disk images * disk_images_nbd:: NBD access * disk_images_sheepdog:: Sheepdog disk images * disk_images_iscsi:: iSCSI LUNs * disk_images_gluster:: GlusterFS disk images * disk_images_ssh:: Secure Shell (ssh) disk images @end menu @node disk_images_quickstart @subsection Quick start for disk image creation You can create a disk image with the command: @example qemu-img create myimage.img mysize @end example where @var{myimage.img} is the disk image filename and @var{mysize} is its size in kilobytes. You can add an @code{M} suffix to give the size in megabytes and a @code{G} suffix for gigabytes. See @ref{qemu_img_invocation} for more information. @node disk_images_snapshot_mode @subsection Snapshot mode If you use the option @option{-snapshot}, all disk images are considered as read only. When sectors in written, they are written in a temporary file created in @file{/tmp}. You can however force the write back to the raw disk images by using the @code{commit} monitor command (or @key{C-a s} in the serial console). @node vm_snapshots @subsection VM snapshots VM snapshots are snapshots of the complete virtual machine including CPU state, RAM, device state and the content of all the writable disks. In order to use VM snapshots, you must have at least one non removable and writable block device using the @code{qcow2} disk image format. Normally this device is the first virtual hard drive. Use the monitor command @code{savevm} to create a new VM snapshot or replace an existing one. A human readable name can be assigned to each snapshot in addition to its numerical ID. Use @code{loadvm} to restore a VM snapshot and @code{delvm} to remove a VM snapshot. @code{info snapshots} lists the available snapshots with their associated information: @example (qemu) info snapshots Snapshot devices: hda Snapshot list (from hda): ID TAG VM SIZE DATE VM CLOCK 1 start 41M 2006-08-06 12:38:02 00:00:14.954 2 40M 2006-08-06 12:43:29 00:00:18.633 3 msys 40M 2006-08-06 12:44:04 00:00:23.514 @end example A VM snapshot is made of a VM state info (its size is shown in @code{info snapshots}) and a snapshot of every writable disk image. The VM state info is stored in the first @code{qcow2} non removable and writable block device. The disk image snapshots are stored in every disk image. The size of a snapshot in a disk image is difficult to evaluate and is not shown by @code{info snapshots} because the associated disk sectors are shared among all the snapshots to save disk space (otherwise each snapshot would need a full copy of all the disk images). When using the (unrelated) @code{-snapshot} option (@ref{disk_images_snapshot_mode}), you can always make VM snapshots, but they are deleted as soon as you exit QEMU. VM snapshots currently have the following known limitations: @itemize @item They cannot cope with removable devices if they are removed or inserted after a snapshot is done. @item A few device drivers still have incomplete snapshot support so their state is not saved or restored properly (in particular USB). @end itemize @node qemu_img_invocation @subsection @code{qemu-img} Invocation @include qemu-img.texi @node qemu_nbd_invocation @subsection @code{qemu-nbd} Invocation @include qemu-nbd.texi @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. @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), optional AES encryption, 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 (this is the default). @code{compat=1.1} enables image format extensions that only QEMU 1.1 and newer understand. 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 If this option is set to @code{on}, the image is encrypted. Encryption uses the AES format which is very secure (128 bit keys). Use a long password (16 characters) to get maximum protection. @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: off, metadata). An image with preallocated metadata is initially larger but can improve performance when the image needs to grow. @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. @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 Old QEMU image format with support for backing files, compact image files, encryption and compression. Supported options: @table @code @item backing_file File name of a base image (see @option{create} subcommand) @item encryption If this option is set to @code{on}, the image is encrypted. @end table @item cow User Mode Linux Copy On Write image format. It is supported only for compatibility with previous versions. Supported options: @table @code @item backing_file File name of a base image (see @option{create} subcommand) @end table @item vdi VirtualBox 1.1 compatible image format. Supported options: @table @code @item static If this option is set to @code{on}, the image is created with metadata preallocation. @end table @item vmdk VMware 3 and 4 compatible image format. Supported options: @table @code @item backing_file File name of a base image (see @option{create} subcommand). @item compat6 Create a VMDK version 6 image (instead of version 4) @item subformat Specifies which VMDK subformat to use. Valid options are @code{monolithicSparse} (default), @code{monolithicFlat}, @code{twoGbMaxExtentSparse}, @code{twoGbMaxExtentFlat} and @code{streamOptimized}. @end table @item vpc VirtualPC compatible image format (VHD). Supported options: @table @code @item subformat Specifies which VHD subformat to use. Valid options are @code{dynamic} (default) and @code{fixed}. @end table @end table @subsubsection Read-only formats More disk image file formats are supported in a read-only mode. @table @option @item bochs Bochs images of @code{growing} type. @item cloop Linux Compressed Loop image, useful only to reuse directly compressed CD-ROM images present for example in the Knoppix CD-ROMs. @item dmg Apple disk image. @item parallels Parallels disk image format. @end table @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 or @file{/dev/fd0} for the floppy. @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). @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 to share 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 @end example @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://[[%]@@][:]// @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= export LIBISCSI_CHAP_PASSWORD= iscsi://// @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[:'] where 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 < Firewall/DHCP server <-----> Internet | (10.0.2.2) | ----> DNS server (10.0.2.3) | ----> SMB server (10.0.2.4) @end example The QEMU VM behaves as if it was behind a firewall which blocks all incoming connections. You can use a DHCP client to automatically configure the network in the QEMU VM. The DHCP server assign addresses to the hosts starting from 10.0.2.15. In order to check that the user mode network is working, you can ping the address 10.0.2.2 and verify that you got an address in the range 10.0.2.x from the QEMU virtual DHCP server. Note that @code{ping} is not supported reliably to the internet as it would require root privileges. It means you can only ping the local router (10.0.2.2). When using the built-in TFTP server, the router is also the TFTP server. When using the @option{-redir} option, TCP or UDP connections can be redirected from the host to the guest. It allows for example to redirect X11, telnet or SSH connections. @subsection Connecting VLANs between QEMU instances Using the @option{-net socket} option, it is possible to make VLANs that span several QEMU instances. See @ref{sec_invocation} to have a basic example. @node pcsys_other_devs @section Other Devices @subsection Inter-VM Shared Memory device With KVM enabled on a Linux host, a shared memory device is available. Guests map a POSIX shared memory region into the guest as a PCI device that enables zero-copy communication to the application level of the guests. The basic syntax is: @example qemu-system-i386 -device ivshmem,size=[,shm=] @end example If desired, interrupts can be sent between guest VMs accessing the same shared memory region. Interrupt support requires using a shared memory server and using a chardev socket to connect to it. The code for the shared memory server is qemu.git/contrib/ivshmem-server. An example syntax when using the shared memory server is: @example qemu-system-i386 -device ivshmem,size=[,chardev=] [,msi=on][,ioeventfd=on][,vectors=n][,role=peer|master] qemu-system-i386 -chardev socket,path=,id= @end example When using the server, the guest will be assigned a VM ID (>=0) that allows guests using the same server to communicate via interrupts. Guests can read their VM ID from a device register (see example code). Since receiving the shared memory region from the server is asynchronous, there is a (small) chance the guest may boot before the shared memory is attached. To allow an application to ensure shared memory is attached, the VM ID register will return -1 (an invalid VM ID) until the memory is attached. Once the shared memory is attached, the VM ID will return the guest's valid VM ID. With these semantics, the guest application can check to ensure the shared memory is attached to the guest before proceeding. The @option{role} argument can be set to either master or peer and will affect how the shared memory is migrated. With @option{role=master}, the guest will copy the shared memory on migration to the destination host. With @option{role=peer}, the guest will not be able to migrate with the device attached. With the @option{peer} case, the device should be detached and then reattached after migration using the PCI hotplug support. @node direct_linux_boot @section Direct Linux Boot This section explains how to launch a Linux kernel inside QEMU without having to make a full bootable image. It is very useful for fast Linux kernel testing. The syntax is: @example qemu-system-i386 -kernel arch/i386/boot/bzImage -hda root-2.4.20.img -append "root=/dev/hda" @end example Use @option{-kernel} to provide the Linux kernel image and @option{-append} to give the kernel command line arguments. The @option{-initrd} option can be used to provide an INITRD image. When using the direct Linux boot, a disk image for the first hard disk @file{hda} is required because its boot sector is used to launch the Linux kernel. If you do not need graphical output, you can disable it and redirect the virtual serial port and the QEMU monitor to the console with the @option{-nographic} option. The typical command line is: @example qemu-system-i386 -kernel arch/i386/boot/bzImage -hda root-2.4.20.img \ -append "root=/dev/hda console=ttyS0" -nographic @end example Use @key{Ctrl-a c} to switch between the serial console and the monitor (@pxref{pcsys_keys}). @node pcsys_usb @section USB emulation QEMU emulates a PCI UHCI USB controller. You can virtually plug virtual USB devices or real host USB devices (experimental, works only on Linux hosts). QEMU will automatically create and connect virtual USB hubs as necessary to connect multiple USB devices. @menu * usb_devices:: * host_usb_devices:: @end menu @node usb_devices @subsection Connecting USB devices USB devices can be connected with the @option{-usbdevice} commandline option or the @code{usb_add} monitor command. Available devices are: @table @code @item mouse Virtual Mouse. This will override the PS/2 mouse emulation when activated. @item tablet Pointer device that uses absolute coordinates (like a touchscreen). This means QEMU is able to report the mouse position without having to grab the mouse. Also overrides the PS/2 mouse emulation when activated. @item disk:@var{file} Mass storage device based on @var{file} (@pxref{disk_images}) @item host:@var{bus.addr} Pass through the host device identified by @var{bus.addr} (Linux only) @item host:@var{vendor_id:product_id} Pass through the host device identified by @var{vendor_id:product_id} (Linux only) @item wacom-tablet Virtual Wacom PenPartner tablet. This device is similar to the @code{tablet} above but it can be used with the tslib library because in addition to touch coordinates it reports touch pressure. @item keyboard Standard USB keyboard. Will override the PS/2 keyboard (if present). @item serial:[vendorid=@var{vendor_id}][,product_id=@var{product_id}]:@var{dev} Serial converter. This emulates an FTDI FT232BM chip connected to host character device @var{dev}. The available character devices are the same as for the @code{-serial} option. The @code{vendorid} and @code{productid} options can be used to override the default 0403:6001. For instance, @example usb_add serial:productid=FA00:tcp:192.168.0.2:4444 @end example will connect to tcp port 4444 of ip 192.168.0.2, and plug that to the virtual serial converter, faking a Matrix Orbital LCD Display (USB ID 0403:FA00). @item braille Braille device. This will use BrlAPI to display the braille output on a real or fake device. @item net:@var{options} Network adapter that supports CDC ethernet and RNDIS protocols. @var{options} specifies NIC options as with @code{-net nic,}@var{options} (see description). For instance, user-mode networking can be used with @example qemu-system-i386 [...OPTIONS...] -net user,vlan=0 -usbdevice net:vlan=0 @end example Currently this cannot be used in machines that support PCI NICs. @item bt[:@var{hci-type}] Bluetooth dongle whose type is specified in the same format as with the @option{-bt hci} option, @pxref{bt-hcis,,allowed HCI types}. If no type is given, the HCI logic corresponds to @code{-bt hci,vlan=0}. This USB device implements the USB Transport Layer of HCI. Example usage: @example qemu-system-i386 [...OPTIONS...] -usbdevice bt:hci,vlan=3 -bt device:keyboard,vlan=3 @end example @end table @node host_usb_devices @subsection Using host USB devices on a Linux host WARNING: this is an experimental feature. QEMU will slow down when using it. USB devices requiring real time streaming (i.e. USB Video Cameras) are not supported yet. @enumerate @item If you use an early Linux 2.4 kernel, verify that no Linux driver is actually using the USB device. A simple way to do that is simply to disable the corresponding kernel module by renaming it from @file{mydriver.o} to @file{mydriver.o.disabled}. @item Verify that @file{/proc/bus/usb} is working (most Linux distributions should enable it by default). You should see something like that: @example ls /proc/bus/usb 001 devices drivers @end example @item Since only root can access to the USB devices directly, you can either launch QEMU as root or change the permissions of the USB devices you want to use. For testing, the following suffices: @example chown -R myuid /proc/bus/usb @end example @item Launch QEMU and do in the monitor: @example info usbhost Device 1.2, speed 480 Mb/s Class 00: USB device 1234:5678, USB DISK @end example You should see the list of the devices you can use (Never try to use hubs, it won't work). @item Add the device in QEMU by using: @example usb_add host:1234:5678 @end example Normally the guest OS should report that a new USB device is plugged. You can use the option @option{-usbdevice} to do the same. @item Now you can try to use the host USB device in QEMU. @end enumerate When relaunching QEMU, you may have to unplug and plug again the USB device to make it work again (this is a bug). @node vnc_security @section VNC security The VNC server capability provides access to the graphical console of the guest VM across the network. This has a number of security considerations depending on the deployment scenarios. @menu * vnc_sec_none:: * vnc_sec_password:: * vnc_sec_certificate:: * vnc_sec_certificate_verify:: * vnc_sec_certificate_pw:: * vnc_sec_sasl:: * vnc_sec_certificate_sasl:: * vnc_generate_cert:: * vnc_setup_sasl:: @end menu @node vnc_sec_none @subsection Without passwords The simplest VNC server setup does not include any form of authentication. For this setup it is recommended to restrict it to listen on a UNIX domain socket only. For example @example qemu-system-i386 [...OPTIONS...] -vnc unix:/home/joebloggs/.qemu-myvm-vnc @end example This ensures that only users on local box with read/write access to that path can access the VNC server. To securely access the VNC server from a remote machine, a combination of netcat+ssh can be used to provide a secure tunnel. @node vnc_sec_password @subsection With passwords The VNC protocol has limited support for password based authentication. Since the protocol limits passwords to 8 characters it should not be considered to provide high security. The password can be fairly easily brute-forced by a client making repeat connections. For this reason, a VNC server using password authentication should be restricted to only listen on the loopback interface or UNIX domain sockets. Password authentication is not supported when operating in FIPS 140-2 compliance mode as it requires the use of the DES cipher. Password authentication is requested with the @code{password} option, and then once QEMU is running the password is set with the monitor. Until the monitor is used to set the password all clients will be rejected. @example qemu-system-i386 [...OPTIONS...] -vnc :1,password -monitor stdio (qemu) change vnc password Password: ******** (qemu) @end example @node vnc_sec_certificate @subsection With x509 certificates The QEMU VNC server also implements the VeNCrypt extension allowing use of TLS for encryption of the session, and x509 certificates for authentication. The use of x509 certificates is strongly recommended, because TLS on its own is susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks. Basic x509 certificate support provides a secure session, but no authentication. This allows any client to connect, and provides an encrypted session. @example qemu-system-i386 [...OPTIONS...] -vnc :1,tls,x509=/etc/pki/qemu -monitor stdio @end example In the above example @code{/etc/pki/qemu} should contain at least three files, @code{ca-cert.pem}, @code{server-cert.pem} and @code{server-key.pem}. Unprivileged users will want to use a private directory, for example @code{$HOME/.pki/qemu}. NB the @code{server-key.pem} file should be protected with file mode 0600 to only be readable by the user owning it. @node vnc_sec_certificate_verify @subsection With x509 certificates and client verification Certificates can also provide a means to authenticate the client connecting. The server will request that the client provide a certificate, which it will then validate against the CA certificate. This is a good choice if deploying in an environment with a private internal certificate authority. @example qemu-system-i386 [...OPTIONS...] -vnc :1,tls,x509verify=/etc/pki/qemu -monitor stdio @end example @node vnc_sec_certificate_pw @subsection With x509 certificates, client verification and passwords Finally, the previous method can be combined with VNC password authentication to provide two layers of authentication for clients. @example qemu-system-i386 [...OPTIONS...] -vnc :1,password,tls,x509verify=/etc/pki/qemu -monitor stdio (qemu) change vnc password Password: ******** (qemu) @end example @node vnc_sec_sasl @subsection With SASL authentication The SASL authentication method is a VNC extension, that provides an easily extendable, pluggable authentication method. This allows for integration with a wide range of authentication mechanisms, such as PAM, GSSAPI/Kerberos, LDAP, SQL databases, one-time keys and more. The strength of the authentication depends on the exact mechanism configured. If the chosen mechanism also provides a SSF layer, then it will encrypt the datastream as well. Refer to the later docs on how to choose the exact SASL mechanism used for authentication, but assuming use of one supporting SSF, then QEMU can be launched with: @example qemu-system-i386 [...OPTIONS...] -vnc :1,sasl -monitor stdio @end example @node vnc_sec_certificate_sasl @subsection With x509 certificates and SASL authentication If the desired SASL authentication mechanism does not supported SSF layers, then it is strongly advised to run it in combination with TLS and x509 certificates. This provides securely encrypted data stream, avoiding risk of compromising of the security credentials. This can be enabled, by combining the 'sasl' option with the aforementioned TLS + x509 options: @example qemu-system-i386 [...OPTIONS...] -vnc :1,tls,x509,sasl -monitor stdio @end example @node vnc_generate_cert @subsection Generating certificates for VNC The GNU TLS packages provides a command called @code{certtool} which can be used to generate certificates and keys in PEM format. At a minimum it is necessary to setup a certificate authority, and issue certificates to each server. If using certificates for authentication, then each client will also need to be issued a certificate. The recommendation is for the server to keep its certificates in either @code{/etc/pki/qemu} or for unprivileged users in @code{$HOME/.pki/qemu}. @menu * vnc_generate_ca:: * vnc_generate_server:: * vnc_generate_client:: @end menu @node vnc_generate_ca @subsubsection Setup the Certificate Authority This step only needs to be performed once per organization / organizational unit. First the CA needs a private key. This key must be kept VERY secret and secure. If this key is compromised the entire trust chain of the certificates issued with it is lost. @example # certtool --generate-privkey > ca-key.pem @end example A CA needs to have a public certificate. For simplicity it can be a self-signed certificate, or one issue by a commercial certificate issuing authority. To generate a self-signed certificate requires one core piece of information, the name of the organization. @example # cat > ca.info < server.info < server-key.pem # certtool --generate-certificate \ --load-ca-certificate ca-cert.pem \ --load-ca-privkey ca-key.pem \ --load-privkey server server-key.pem \ --template server.info \ --outfile server-cert.pem @end example The @code{server-key.pem} and @code{server-cert.pem} files should now be securely copied to the server for which they were generated. The @code{server-key.pem} is security sensitive and should be kept protected with file mode 0600 to prevent disclosure. @node vnc_generate_client @subsubsection Issuing client certificates If the QEMU VNC server is to use the @code{x509verify} option to validate client certificates as its authentication mechanism, each client also needs to be issued a certificate. The client certificate contains enough metadata to uniquely identify the client, typically organization, state, city, building, etc. On the host holding the secure CA private key: @example # cat > client.info < client-key.pem # certtool --generate-certificate \ --load-ca-certificate ca-cert.pem \ --load-ca-privkey ca-key.pem \ --load-privkey client-key.pem \ --template client.info \ --outfile client-cert.pem @end example The @code{client-key.pem} and @code{client-cert.pem} files should now be securely copied to the client for which they were generated. @node vnc_setup_sasl @subsection Configuring SASL mechanisms The following documentation assumes use of the Cyrus SASL implementation on a Linux host, but the principals should apply to any other SASL impl. When SASL is enabled, the mechanism configuration will be loaded from system default SASL service config /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. The default configuration might contain @example mech_list: digest-md5 sasldb_path: /etc/qemu/passwd.db @end example This says to use the 'Digest MD5' mechanism, which is similar to the HTTP Digest-MD5 mechanism. The list of valid usernames & passwords is maintained in the /etc/qemu/passwd.db file, and can be updated using the saslpasswd2 command. While this mechanism is easy to configure and use, it is not considered secure by modern standards, so only suitable for developers / ad-hoc testing. A more serious deployment might use Kerberos, which is done with the 'gssapi' mechanism @example mech_list: gssapi keytab: /etc/qemu/krb5.tab @end example For this to work the administrator of your KDC must generate a Kerberos principal for the server, with a name of 'qemu/somehost.example.com@@EXAMPLE.COM' replacing 'somehost.example.com' with the fully qualified host name of the machine running QEMU, and 'EXAMPLE.COM' with the Kerberos Realm. Other configurations will be left as an exercise for the reader. It should be noted that only Digest-MD5 and GSSAPI provides a SSF layer for data encryption. For all other mechanisms, VNC should always be configured to use TLS and x509 certificates to protect security credentials from snooping. @node gdb_usage @section GDB usage QEMU has a primitive support to work with gdb, so that you can do 'Ctrl-C' while the virtual machine is running and inspect its state. In order to use gdb, launch QEMU with the '-s' option. It will wait for a gdb connection: @example qemu-system-i386 -s -kernel arch/i386/boot/bzImage -hda root-2.4.20.img \ -append "root=/dev/hda" Connected to host network interface: tun0 Waiting gdb connection on port 1234 @end example Then launch gdb on the 'vmlinux' executable: @example > gdb vmlinux @end example In gdb, connect to QEMU: @example (gdb) target remote localhost:1234 @end example Then you can use gdb normally. For example, type 'c' to launch the kernel: @example (gdb) c @end example Here are some useful tips in order to use gdb on system code: @enumerate @item Use @code{info reg} to display all the CPU registers. @item Use @code{x/10i $eip} to display the code at the PC position. @item Use @code{set architecture i8086} to dump 16 bit code. Then use @code{x/10i $cs*16+$eip} to dump the code at the PC position. @end enumerate Advanced debugging options: The default single stepping behavior is step with the IRQs and timer service routines off. It is set this way because when gdb executes a single step it expects to advance beyond the current instruction. With the IRQs and and timer service routines on, a single step might jump into the one of the interrupt or exception vectors instead of executing the current instruction. This means you may hit the same breakpoint a number of times before executing the instruction gdb wants to have executed. Because there are rare circumstances where you want to single step into an interrupt vector the behavior can be controlled from GDB. There are three commands you can query and set the single step behavior: @table @code @item maintenance packet qqemu.sstepbits This will display the MASK bits used to control the single stepping IE: @example (gdb) maintenance packet qqemu.sstepbits sending: "qqemu.sstepbits" received: "ENABLE=1,NOIRQ=2,NOTIMER=4" @end example @item maintenance packet qqemu.sstep This will display the current value of the mask used when single stepping IE: @example (gdb) maintenance packet qqemu.sstep sending: "qqemu.sstep" received: "0x7" @end example @item maintenance packet Qqemu.sstep=HEX_VALUE This will change the single step mask, so if wanted to enable IRQs on the single step, but not timers, you would use: @example (gdb) maintenance packet Qqemu.sstep=0x5 sending: "qemu.sstep=0x5" received: "OK" @end example @end table @node pcsys_os_specific @section Target OS specific information @subsection Linux To have access to SVGA graphic modes under X11, use the @code{vesa} or the @code{cirrus} X11 driver. For optimal performances, use 16 bit color depth in the guest and the host OS. When using a 2.6 guest Linux kernel, you should add the option @code{clock=pit} on the kernel command line because the 2.6 Linux kernels make very strict real time clock checks by default that QEMU cannot simulate exactly. When using a 2.6 guest Linux kernel, verify that the 4G/4G patch is not activated because QEMU is slower with this patch. The QEMU Accelerator Module is also much slower in this case. Earlier Fedora Core 3 Linux kernel (< 2.6.9-1.724_FC3) were known to incorporate this patch by default. Newer kernels don't have it. @subsection Windows If you have a slow host, using Windows 95 is better as it gives the best speed. Windows 2000 is also a good choice. @subsubsection SVGA graphic modes support QEMU emulates a Cirrus Logic GD5446 Video card. All Windows versions starting from Windows 95 should recognize and use this graphic card. For optimal performances, use 16 bit color depth in the guest and the host OS. If you are using Windows XP as guest OS and if you want to use high resolution modes which the Cirrus Logic BIOS does not support (i.e. >= 1280x1024x16), then you should use the VESA VBE virtual graphic card (option @option{-std-vga}). @subsubsection CPU usage reduction Windows 9x does not correctly use the CPU HLT instruction. The result is that it takes host CPU cycles even when idle. You can install the utility from @url{http://www.user.cityline.ru/~maxamn/amnhltm.zip} to solve this problem. Note that no such tool is needed for NT, 2000 or XP. @subsubsection Windows 2000 disk full problem Windows 2000 has a bug which gives a disk full problem during its installation. When installing it, use the @option{-win2k-hack} QEMU option to enable a specific workaround. After Windows 2000 is installed, you no longer need this option (this option slows down the IDE transfers). @subsubsection Windows 2000 shutdown Windows 2000 cannot automatically shutdown in QEMU although Windows 98 can. It comes from the fact that Windows 2000 does not automatically use the APM driver provided by the BIOS. In order to correct that, do the following (thanks to Struan Bartlett): go to the Control Panel => Add/Remove Hardware & Next => Add/Troubleshoot a device => Add a new device & Next => No, select the hardware from a list & Next => NT Apm/Legacy Support & Next => Next (again) a few times. Now the driver is installed and Windows 2000 now correctly instructs QEMU to shutdown at the appropriate moment. @subsubsection Share a directory between Unix and Windows See @ref{sec_invocation} about the help of the option @option{-smb}. @subsubsection Windows XP security problem Some releases of Windows XP install correctly but give a security error when booting: @example A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the license for this computer. Error code: 0x800703e6. @end example The workaround is to install a service pack for XP after a boot in safe mode. Then reboot, and the problem should go away. Since there is no network while in safe mode, its recommended to download the full installation of SP1 or SP2 and transfer that via an ISO or using the vvfat block device ("-hdb fat:directory_which_holds_the_SP"). @subsection MS-DOS and FreeDOS @subsubsection CPU usage reduction DOS does not correctly use the CPU HLT instruction. The result is that it takes host CPU cycles even when idle. You can install the utility from @url{http://www.vmware.com/software/dosidle210.zip} to solve this problem. @node QEMU System emulator for non PC targets @chapter QEMU System emulator for non PC targets QEMU is a generic emulator and it emulates many non PC machines.
