What''s the proper way of doing this? I have a vm that I keep shut off as a template on one machine. I''d like to push it out to other xen hosts. What is the best way of doing this?

I''m not going to say this is best way but i done this recently.
1st of all rsync the host over, i snapshot the running domU mount it
(the snapshot) then rsync to a formatted LVM volume on the other host. I
use this method for hourly/daily/weekly backups and the script goes like
this.
lvremove -f /dev/lvmhdc1/mysql.hourly
lvcreate -s -L1G -n mysql.hourly /dev/lvmhdc1/mysql
mount /dev/lvmhdc1/mysql.hourly /backups/mysql.hourly
rsync -azH /backups/mysql.hourly/ 192.168.0.15:/backups/mysql.hourly/
umount /backups/mysql.hourly
That as suggests removed the last snapshot, makes a new one then copies
changes over to the other host. I dare not say this is failsafe with a
running domU but its not let me down yet.
