I have no experience about converting Windows physical hosts to XEN hosts :( In my modest opinion, I think this is the way:- Create a LVM on the xen server with the same or more space than the windows HD.- Shutdown windows machine. - Boot windows box with a GNU/Linux LiveCD - Copy all the windows HD with dd:dd if=/dev/hda | ssh root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "/bin/dd of=/dev/vg00/vmwindows"- Then pray :) and hope windows boot correctly, my knowledge about windows is poor :( . Interesting.¿And what's about product like http://www.platespin.com/products/powerconvert/? I've not tried it, but it sound great. However, personally I prefer an old and reliable tools as dd ;) -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
