Xen users - Jul 2006 - Xen restore in a different machine?

Is it possible to perform a "xm save vm1 vm1.img" and then

"xm restore vm1.img" in a different physical host?

If so, what are the requirements?

I think this question is answered already in this list or in the wiki,
IIRC. Did you look there? What info are you missing?

sorry, then I might be wrong with my guess - it just sounded so familiar.

I''d guess save and restore need the same precondontions to work as
migrations: you need the same cpu, or ast least the same cpu flags,
maybe trhe same xen hypervisor version.

But I might be wrong and have no time to search for further sources or
test it - i see tons of mails on this list when searching for restore
which I cannot read altogether.

ps: please don''t reply to me in person, keep discussion on the list -
the information should be available for everyone.
