On some of the newer xens they actually have a utility to do this but if you just have vanilla xen 3.1 or so, 1) rsync the current contents of your bare-metal machine to a new partition on the machine that is running a xen-enabled kernel 2) Mount the partition, chroot, and install a xen-enabled domU kernel in the partition 3) Change network files as necessary to show you are on a xen instance. 4) start up and go. Steve Timm I've got a linux box that has too many custom installs, etc... that would take forever to redo.My goal would be to move it to the hypervisor machine thats running a few guests.- Brian _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven C.
