Heres my setup. I have a workstation running windows xp sp3 that is currently acting as my symantec ghost and symantec endpoint server. For backup purposes I want to virtualize the physical machine so I can then just backup the xen image as opposed to making a copy of the hard drive image and having to transfer it to another machine in the case of a hardware failure. I connected an external drive to my machine and booted up knoppix using a live CD. I've DD'd the entire drive image to a .img file onto the external drive. I then copied my .img file onto my xen server and now I'm kind of lost. I'm a complete noob to xen and the xen server was implemented by someone who is no longer with the company so I know absolutely nothing about it. I know that I can use virt-manager to access the xen server and create an image and what not. I guess my question is can someone help me import this exiting .img file into my xen server for use. Currently it does not boot and when I tried booting to recovery console using windows xp disk I can do a fixmbr, but fixboot does not work cause it says the drive does not exist. Any help would be great. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
