[Xen-users] Best way to convert pv to hvm?

[Tony Hoyle <tmh@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert a number of PV domains to HVM domains.  The snag 
is they're all in separate partitions, so I need to get a unified disk 
image.
My current plan is to mount the root of dom0 inside a booted domu 
(single user mode) and dd the entire contents of the virtual disk 
/dev/sda into a file on the dom0 disk.  Is this likely to work?  It's
gonna be slow I know due to the dom0->domu->dom0 translation but is 
there perhaps a faster way?  I presume xen itself creates a partition 
table somewhere and if I could get at that and do it entire thing in 
dom0... is this just a python script generating it at runtime or is it 
stored somewhere?
Tony
