Xen users - Jun 2011 - LOAD GNU/LINUX DEBIAN SYSTEM FROM ISO IMAGE.BUT NOT INSTALL

Good Evening in Spain,

have one question about XEN application I have old server GNU/Linux Debian
with next disc configuration:

/dev/hda1     ext3    8,9G  4,6G  3,9G  55% /
tmpfs        tmpfs    252M     0  252M   0% /lib/init/rw
udev         tmpfs     10M  668K  9,4M   7% /dev
tmpfs        tmpfs    252M     0  252M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdb1     ext4     19G  7,7G  9,8G  44% /home

And I want port this physical machine to one VM into the XEN server, but i
need know if is possible create and iso image from hda disk of this old
server and load directly with XEN into VM, this can work?¿

Any one can guide me to do this task and port old physical server to
Virtual XEN Machine.

Thanks in advanced to all & Best Regards.

Nacho Alegre.

HolaNo I have not done with GNU / Linux, but with windows and hvm.
If you do it with hvm is simple, with:

  dd if = / dev/hda1 of = debian_hda1.raw
  dd if = / dev/hdb1 of = debian_hdb1.raw

You''ve got the files, you should use the debian.cfg.
What you need is called P2V (Physical-to-Virtual)
