If you dd the source LV to the new LV, you will get an exact copy of the
OS. Then you should be able to 'virsh dumpxml domu > ~/domu.xml', edit
the XML to use the new LV, redefine the domU using 'virsh define
~/domu.xml' and boot the VM.
However, I have no idea how or if you can grow the Win2008 server's
filesystem at that point, but the space will be there if it is possible.
note: keep an original copy of the 'domu.xml' in case something goes
wrong. Then you can re-redefine the domU back to it's original LV. :)
