RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
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 12:12:44 UTC 
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.
