Re: [Xen-users] Best way to convert pv to hvm?

[Yves-gaël Chény <yves-gael.cheny@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If i understand it's linux domain.

  1. make a disk file qemu-img for example
  2. mount the partition of you PV in the dom0 and the qemu disk-file
  3. make a rsync -a between the two mount point
  4. make a /boot with kernel, initrd ....
  5. running in hvm mode on a linux live cdrom
  6. install a grub or a lilo
