[Xen-users] migrate Linux guests from Xen to XCP 1.0 Beta
Hi, If this isn''t the place to post this question, just let me know. I am in the process of evaluating XCP 1.0 and would like to migrate one of my xen Domus "guests" to XCP. The guest is CentOS 5.5. Is there a recommended way to do this? Thanks in advance, CJP _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Yeah I saw that right after I sent this out don''t know how I missed it. Now the question is mounting a .img to change the mount points. mount wants a filesystem type, so would a centos guest .img file be ext3?

It should work if you give the .img. As long as its raw...
