Re: [Xen-users] Re: Tool for convert VMware to Xen

[Martinx - ジェームズ <thiagocmartinsc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 The Xen Converter will export your VM to a XenServer, not to a open source version of the Xen.

 Anyway, you can boot your vmware guest with any Live CD (a.k.a. sysrescuecd), mount your partitions under /mnt/source, configure the network, mount a remote NFS server under /mnt/target and copy all files from /mnt/source/ to /mnt/target/...

 For example:

 1) Boot your vmware guest with the sysrescuecd;
 2) do "mkdir /mnt/target /mnt/source";
 3) Mount your root partition: mount /dev/sdaX /mnt/source;
 4) Look for another partitions: cat /mnt/source/etc/fstab;

 5) Mount, for example, the /usr, /home, etc...: mount /dev/sdaY /mnt/source/home;
 6) Configure the network;
 7) Mount the remote NFS server (the destination target - Xen open source virtual disk): mount 10.20.40.10:/mnt/target/

 8) Copy the content: cd /mnt ; rsync -avz --delete source/ target/;
 9) Umount all file systems;
 10) Reconfigure you new Xen domU with the new disk.

 Pay attention to your kernel, it MUST be Xen-aware (a.k.a. CONFIG_XEN=y).

Regards,
Thiago
