Hi folks,


Host - Debian Etch
Guests - Debian Etch.


Performed following steps to create duplicate guest, a mail server.


1)
# cp /etc/xen/guest-1.cfg /etc/xen/guest-2.cfg


edit guest-2.cfg changing the settings of:-
disk = ['file:/vserver/domains/guest-2_directory/disk.img,hda1,w',
'file:/vserver/domains/guest-2_directory/swap.img,hda2,w']

#  Hostname
name = 'guest-2_hostname'

#  Networking
vif = ['ip=guest-2_localIP, mac=00:16:3E:C2:AA:77']


2)
# mkdir /vserver/domains/guest-2_directory

# cp /vserver/domains/guest-1_directory/disk.img
/vserver/domains/guest-2_directory/

# cp /vserver/domains/guest-1_directory/swap.img
/vserver/domains/guest-2_directory/


3)
Start guest-2 and login with password of guest-1

Edit /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname, /etc/network/interfaces, root_password,
user_passwords, etc.


4)
Restart guest-2 and login with new data.  The new mail server, guest-2,
is working.


But occasionally I found running both guest-1 and guest-2
simultaneously slow response to keystroke will occur on either of them.
 I have to sit back and wait.  Please advise where shall I check and
how to fix this problem?  TIA


Besides, is there a better way to clone a guest on the same Xen box?


B.R.
