List, I had an unpleasant surprise the other day with VMware Server, and would like to know if the same is true for Xen. VMware Server issue: For some reason a VMware Server breaks down and is not able to restart. I copy a vm to another machine running VMware Server, but on different hardware, especially a different diskcontroller. When starting the vm on the new server, the linux instance is complaining about a missing diskcontroller and thus does not come up. That took me by surprise as I thought the diskcontroller the vm instance "sees", is the same no matter what the underlying hardware is running on. Apparently not. Now, my question is this: If I move a Xen vm from one server to another, and the 2 dom0''s are running on different hardware, will I experience the same type of problem ?

Re: [Xen-users] Move vm to new dom0 on different hardware
Indeed it does. I have a Win2K3 VM moved from a Dell 2900III with a Perc6i diskcontroller to a Dell T605 with a Perc6i diskcontroller. So the diskcontroller is the same (underlying disks is SCSI on PE2900 and SATA on T605) but everything else is different. The VM is running with no problems.
