Hi Antoine,
I did it before without success.

xen2.satimis.com can't be started. They can't share image.
Even if they can there will be problem. E.G. xen2.satimis.com is an
existing/running Mail Server. I change it on xen3.satimis.com as a new
Mail Server with new config. Then the existing Mail Server will be
wiped out.
