Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Migration of physical host to Xen-Instance
Hi Tino,

I'm interested in exactly the same thing. I was wondering if migration of an 
existing server might be possible using an LVM snapshot and careful matching of 
the disk and nic device names in the Xen config file.

Subject: [Xen-users] Migration of physical host to Xen-Instance

Hi,

we are currently in the process of virtualizing an already existing 
infrastructure. So far we are able to run a XEN-System and several DomUs 
and everything is fine.

Now we like to migrate an already existing Linux-System (actually 
CentOS) which is installed on its own box to our XEN-System, i.e. we 
want to virtualize it.

Are there any documents about best practices of how to move this system 
to the XEN-Box?

Glad for any hints and suggestions.

Cheers,
Tino
