Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Convert physical server to VM
Hi,
rsync works great on production enviroments, I had paravirtualized some
servers with these method:
rsync -ave ssh --exclude=/proc --exclude=/sys --exclude=/dev (if you are
using udev) root@runingserver:/ /mnt/newserverimage/
after this:
mkdir /mnt/newserverimages/proc
mkdir /mnt/newserverimages/sys
mkdir /mnt/newserverimages/dev
review your fstab, and copy the kernel modules:
cp -pr /lib/modules/2.6.16-xenU /mnt/newserverimages/lib/modules/
more or less .... this is the way
Also I have full virtualitzed some old GNU/Linux boxes with kernels 2.4,
I used GNU/Linux live CD on the old box and dd utility:
dd if=/dev/hda | ssh root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "/bin/dd
of=/dev/vg00/newvserver"
I hope it will be helpfull
Marc
