Re: [Xen-users] Convert physical server to VM
the problem is that you only copy the filesystem with tar command. You
must copy the FULL disc, to do this follow use dd, as I post before
dd if=/dev/hda | ssh root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "/bin/dd
of=/xen/images/myimage.img"
so the process will be:
1- dd if=/dev/zero of=image.img bs=1M count=4096 (if you have a 4GB HD,
if your physical HD is 4GB)
remember, the image must be at least the same size than your original HD)
2- stop old box, and boot with a LiveCD
3- Copy the disc to your XEN server
dd if=/dev/hda | ssh root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "/bin/dd
of=/xen/images/myimage.img"
¿Anyone has some experience with this method into a production
environment? I'm looking for a tool/method to do it.
