Migrate CentOS-4.4 to Xen
Boot Knoppix
In a root shell window:
vgchange -ay # activate LVM e2fsck -f /dev/vg00/lv00 resize2fs /dev/vg00/lv00 9G # resize ext3 fs lvreduce /dev/vg00/lv00 -L9G # resize logical vol
Reboot host OS
mount xen2.neoxo.com:/share /mnt/share # mount nfs share lvcreate -s -n backup -L9G /dev/vg00/lv00 # create lvm snapshot mount /dev/vg00/backup /mnt/backup tar zcvpf /mnt/share/app2-backup.tgz -directory=/mnt/backup . # tar lv backup to nfs
On Xen host
lvcreate -n app2.swap -L2G vg0 mkswap /dev/vg0/app2.swap lvcreate -n app2 -L9G vg0 mkfs.ext3 /dev/vg0/app2 mount /dev/vg0/app2 /mnt/app2 cd /mnt/app2 tar zxvf /share/app2.tgz
In the VM do the following
Copy /boot/* from another CentOS-4.4 VM rename/remove /etc/sysconfig/hwconf change entries in fstab to use scsi (sda) instead of lvm
To prepare /etc/xen config files
Copy and modify a working config, or read the Xen docs
To reboot VM automatically
Create a link to the appropriate /etc/xen/xxx.conf in /etc/xen/auto/
