For qemu with version 2.0 or plus, we support -o redundancy option similar to
dog's '-c'

# create a fully replicated vdi with x copies
-o redundancy=x (1 <= x <= SD_MAX_COPIES)

# create a erasure coded vdi with x data strips and y parity strips
-o redundancy=x:y (x must be one of {2,4,8,16} and 1 <= y < SD_EC_MAX_STRIP)

Which support qemu and qemu-img binary.

Thanks
