This article describes some of the options useful for configuring QEMU virtual machines. For the most up to date options for the current QEMU install run man qemu at a terminal.

Note
It is important to note that the command has changed from qemu to qemu-system-x86_64 to launch QEMU as a 64-bit virtual machine.

Display options

There are a few available options to specify the kind of display to use in QEMU.

  • -display sdl - Display video output via SDL (usually in a separate graphics window).
  • -display curses - Displays video output via curses.
  • -display none - Do not display video output. This option is different than the -nographic option. See the man page for more information.
  • -display gtk - Display video output in a GTK window. This is probably the option most users are looking for.
  • -display vnc=127.0.0.1:<X> - Start a VNC server on display X (accepts an argument (X) for the display number). Substitute X for the number of the display (0 will then listen on 5900, 1 on 5901, etc).

For example to have QEMU send the display to a GTK window add the following option to the list:

Machine

  • -machine type=q35,accel=kvm - Modern chipset (PCIe, AHCI, ...) and hardware virtualization acceleration
  • -object rng-random,id=rng0,filename=/dev/urandom -device virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0 - Pass-through for host random number generator. Accelerates startup of e.g. Debian VMs because of missing entropy.

Processor

  • -cpu <CPU> - Specify a processor architecture to emulate. To see a list of supported architectures, run: qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu ?
  • -cpu host - (Recommended) Emulate the host processor.
  • -smp <NUMBER> - Specify the number of cores the guest is permitted to use. The number can be higher than the available cores on the host system. Use -smp $(nproc) to use all currently available cores.

RAM

  • -m MEMORY - Specify the amount of memory (default: 128 MB). For instance: -m 256M (M stands for Megabyte, G for Gigabyte).

Hard drive

  • -hda IMAGE.img - Set a virtual hard drive and use the specified image file for it.
  • -drive - Advanced configuration of a virtual hard drive:
  • Very fast Virtio SCSI emulation for block discards (TRIM), native command queuing (NCQ). You need at least one virtio-scsi-controller and for each block device a -drive and -device scsi-hd pair.
  • -drive file=IMAGE.img,if=virtio - Set a virtual VirtIO-BLK hard drive and use the specified image file for it.
  • -drive file=/dev/sdX#,cache=none,if=virtio - Set a virtual VirtIO-BLK hard drive and use the specified partition for it.
  • -drive id=disk,file=IMAGE.img,if=none -device ahci,id=ahci -device ide-drive,drive=disk,bus=ahci.0 - Set emulation layer for an ICH-9 AHCI controller and use the specified image file for it. The AHCI emulation supports NCQ, so multiple read or write requests can be outstanding at the same time.

Optical drives

  • -cdrom IMAGE.iso - Set a virtual CDROM drive and use the specified image file for it.
  • -cdrom /dev/cdrom - Set a virtual CDROM drive and use the host drive for it.
  • -drive - Advanced configuration of a virtual CDROM drive:
  • -drive file=IMAGE.iso,media=cdrom - Set a virtual CDROM drive and use the specified image file for it. With this syntax you can set multiple drives.

Boot order

  • -boot c - Boot the first virtual hard drive.
  • -boot d - Boot the first virtual CD-ROM drive.
  • -boot n - Boot from virtual network.

Graphics card

QEMU can emulate several graphics cards:

  • -vga cirrus - Simple graphics card. Every guest OS has a built-in driver.
  • -vga std - Support resolutions >= 1280x1024x16. Linux, Windows XP and newer guest have a built-in driver.
  • -vga vmware - VMware SVGA-II, more powerful graphics card. Install x11-drivers/xf86-video-vmware in Linux guests, VMware Tools in Windows XP and newer guests.
  • -vga qxl - More powerful graphics card for use with SPICE.

To get more performance use the same color depth for your host as you use in the guest.

PCI pass-through

Note
This will NOT work for GPUs. It's completely different. Take a look here and here
KERNELFor AMD processors:

Find the host PCI device:

Note down the device (00:1b.0) and vendor (8086:284b) ID.

Unbind it:

root #echo '8086 284b' > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/new_id
root #echo '0000:00:1b.0' > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1b.0/driver/unbind
root #echo '0000:00:1b.0' > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/bind

And bind it to guest:

-device pci-assign,host=00:1b.0

Networking

Default - without any -netdev option - is Pass-through.

Important
Pass-through method only works for TCP and UDP connections.

Thus, ping is not a suitable tool to test networking connectivity because it uses ICMP.

Try using curl or other UDP or TCP/IP software for testing.

Pass-through

  • -netdev user - The QEMU process will create TCP and UDP connections for each connection in the VM. The virtual machine does not have an address reachable from the outside.
  • -device virtio-net,netdev=vmnic -netdev user,id=vmnic - (Recommended) Pass-through with VirtIO support.
  • -netdev user,id=vmnic,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:9001-:22 - Let QEMU listen on port 9001. Connections to that port will be relayed to the VM on port 22. ssh -p 9001 localhost will thus log into the VM.


Virtual network cable (TAP)

  • -device virtio-net,netdev=vmnic -netdev tap,id=vmnic,ifname=vnet0,script=no,downscript=no - A new device (vnet0) is created by QEMU on the host, the other end of the 'cable' is at the VM.


Network bridge

With this setup, we create a TAP interface (see above) and connect it to a virtual switch (the bridge).

Please first read about network bridging and QEMU about configuring kernel to support bridging.

OpenRC

Assuming a simple case with only one Virtual Machine with tap0 net interface and only one net interface on host with eth0.

SCSI-Controller Driver

Host and guest can be on the same subnet.Configuration based on this forum post. [1]

systemd

Create the bridge:

FILE/etc/systemd/network/vmbridge.netdev

Configure the bridge's address:

FILE/your/path/to/qemu/stuff/addtobridge.sh
