[CentOS-virt] Move existing CentOS 4.5 to Xen DomU on CentOS 5
Is there a procedure/howto to follow when moving from existing HW to virtual machine. I found: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/MoveNative2DomU but it seems little bit complex for me(but not impossible). Is there a tool that does the migration (XenOptimizer should do it???) When searching I find only commercial tools... ----------------------------------------------------------------- ??????? ??? ?????? ?? ???-????? ??? ?? Rihanna! vivarihanna.zoom.bg

Then restore to a set of LVM volumes. -- Kris Buytaert <mlkb at inuits.be>
