+# JSON-RPC Methods {#jsonrpc}
+
+# Overview {#jsonrpc_overview}
+
+SPDK implements a [JSON-RPC 2.0](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification) server
+to allow external management tools to dynamically configure SPDK components.
+
+## Parameters
+
+Most of the commands can take parameters. If present, parameter is validated against its domain. If this check fail
+whole command will fail with response error message [Invalid params](@ref jsonrpc_error_message).
+
+### Required parameters
+
+These parameters are mandatory. If any required parameter is missing RPC command will fail with proper error response.
+
+### Optional parameters
+
+Those parameters might be omitted. If an optional parameter is present it must be valid otherwise command will fail
+proper error response.
+
+## Error response message {#jsonrpc_error_message}
+
+Each error response will contain proper message. As much as possible the message should indicate what went wrong during
+command processing.
+
+There is ongoing effort to customize this messages but some RPC methods just return "Invalid parameters" as message body
+for any kind of error.
+
+Code | Description
+------ | -----------
+-1 | Invalid state - given method exists but it is not callable in [current runtime state](@ref rpc_framework_start_init)
+-32600 | Invalid request - not compliant with JSON-RPC 2.0 Specification
+-32601 | Method not found
+-32602 | @ref jsonrpc_invalid_params
+-32603 | Internal error for e.g.: errors like out of memory
+-32700 | @ref jsonrpc_parser_error
+
+### Parser error {#jsonrpc_parser_error}
+
+Encountered some error during parsing request like:
+
+- the JSON object is malformed
+- parameter is too long
+- request is too long
+
+### Invalid params {#jsonrpc_invalid_params}
+
+This type of error is most common one. It mean that there is an error while processing the request like:
+
+- Parameters decoding in RPC method handler failed because required parameter is missing.
+- Unknown parameter present encountered.
+- Parameter type doesn't match expected type e.g.: given number when expected a string.
+- Parameter domain check failed.
+- Request is valid but some other error occurred during processing request. If possible message explains the error reason nature.
+
+## Adding external RPC methods
+
+SPDK includes both in-tree modules as well as the ability to use external modules. The in-tree modules include some python
+scripts to ease the process of sending RPCs to in-tree modules. External modules can utilize this same framework to add new RPC
+methods as follows:
+
+If PYTHONPATH doesn't include the location of the external RPC python script, it should be updated:
+
+~~~
+export PYTHONPATH=/home/user/plugin_example/
+~~~
+
+In provided location, create python module file (e.g. rpc_plugin.py) with new RPC methods. The file should contain
+spdk_rpc_plugin_initialize() method that will be called when the plugin is loaded to define new parsers for provided subparsers
+argument that adds new RPC calls (subparsers.add_parser()). The new parsers should use the client.call() method to call RPC
+functions registered within the external module using the SPDK_RPC_REGISTER() macro. Example:
+
+~~~
+from rpc.client import print_json
+
+
+def example_create(client, num_blocks, block_size, name=None, uuid=None):
+ """Construct an example block device.
+
+ Args:
+ num_blocks: size of block device in blocks
+ block_size: block size of device; must be a power of 2 and at least 512
+ name: name of block device (optional)
+ uuid: UUID of block device (optional)
+
+ Returns:
+ Name of created block device.
+ """
+ params = {'num_blocks': num_blocks, 'block_size': block_size}
+ if name:
+ params['name'] = name
+ if uuid:
+ params['uuid'] = uuid
+ return client.call('bdev_example_create', params)
+
+
+def example_delete(client, name):
+ """Delete example block device.
+
+ Args:
+ bdev_name: name of bdev to delete
+ """
+ params = {'name': name}
+ return client.call('bdev_example_delete', params)
+
+
+def spdk_rpc_plugin_initialize(subparsers):
+ def bdev_example_create(args):
+ num_blocks = (args.total_size * 1024 * 1024) // args.block_size
+ print_json(example_create(args.client,
+ num_blocks=int(num_blocks),
+ block_size=args.block_size,
+ name=args.name,
+ uuid=args.uuid))
+
+ p = subparsers.add_parser('bdev_example_create',
+ help='Create an example bdev')
+ p.add_argument('-b', '--name', help="Name of the bdev")
+ p.add_argument('-u', '--uuid', help="UUID of the bdev")
+ p.add_argument(
+ 'total_size', help='Size of bdev in MB (float > 0)', type=float)
+ p.add_argument('block_size', help='Block size for this bdev', type=int)
+ p.set_defaults(func=bdev_example_create)
+
+ def bdev_example_delete(args):
+ example_delete(args.client,
+ name=args.name)
+
+ p = subparsers.add_parser('bdev_example_delete',
+ help='Delete an example disk')
+ p.add_argument('name', help='example bdev name')
+ p.set_defaults(func=bdev_example_delete)
+~~~
+
+Finally, call the rpc.py script with '--plugin' parameter to provide above python module name:
+
+~~~
+./scripts/rpc.py --plugin rpc_plugin bdev_example_create 10 4096
+~~~

+## bdev_rbd_create {#rpc_bdev_rbd_create}
+
+Create @ref bdev_config_rbd bdev
+
+This method is available only if SPDK was build with Ceph RBD support.
+
+### Parameters
+
+Name | Optional | Type | Description
+----------------------- | -------- | ----------- | -----------
+name | Optional | string | Bdev name
+user_id | Optional | string | Ceph ID (i.e. admin, not client.admin)
+pool_name | Required | string | Pool name
+rbd_name | Required | string | Image name
+block_size | Required | number | Block size
+config | Optional | string map | Explicit librados configuration
+
+If no config is specified, Ceph configuration files must exist with
+all relevant settings for accessing the pool. If a config map is
+passed, the configuration files are ignored and instead all key/value
+pairs are passed to rados_conf_set to configure cluster access. In
+practice, "mon_host" (= list of monitor address+port) and "key" (= the
+secret key stored in Ceph keyrings) are enough.
+
+When accessing the image as some user other than "admin" (the
+default), the "user_id" has to be set.
+
+### Result
+
+Name of newly created bdev.
+
+### Example
+

+# Vhost Target {#jsonrpc_components_vhost_tgt}
+
+The following common preconditions need to be met in all target types.
+
+Controller name will be used to create UNIX domain socket. This implies that name concatenated with vhost socket
+directory path needs to be valid UNIX socket name.
+
+@ref cpu_mask parameter is used to choose CPU on which pollers will be launched when new initiator is connecting.
+It must be a subset of application CPU mask. Default value is CPU mask of the application.
+
+## vhost_controller_set_coalescing {#rpc_vhost_controller_set_coalescing}
+
+Controls interrupt coalescing for specific target. Because `delay_base_us` is used to calculate delay in CPU ticks
+there is no hardcoded limit for this parameter. Only limitation is that final delay in CPU ticks might not overflow
+32 bit unsigned integer (which is more than 1s @ 4GHz CPU). In real scenarios `delay_base_us` should be much lower
+than 150us. To disable coalescing set `delay_base_us` to 0.
+
+### Parameters
+
+Name | Optional | Type | Description
+----------------------- | -------- | ----------- | -----------
+ctrlr | Required | string | Controller name
+delay_base_us | Required | number | Base (minimum) coalescing time in microseconds
+iops_threshold | Required | number | Coalescing activation level greater than 0 in IO per second
