IMPORTANT: this is an internal interface consumed only by libvirt. Users should only know about libvirt related impact and new functionality (which is not described here). Cause: hmp_passthrough command is needed so libvirt can use some qemu-kvm features such as savevm/loadvm. Consequence: libvirt can't use savevm/loadvm through QMP withou hmp_passthrough command. Change: htmp_passthrough command was implemented in qemu-kvm. Result: libvirt can use the hmp_passthrough QMP command to execute legacy commands such as loadvm/savevm.

Description Luiz Capitulino 2010-10-28 08:12:44 EDT
Cloning this bug for RHEl6.1 as it's also going to get this feature, so that we can have things like savevm/loadvm working under QMP.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #644819 +++

It is impossible to debug qemu instance without human qemu monitor.
