Migrating a running production server to Xen, unmodified as a second HDD?
- by DaveCol
I have a production server which I am looking to virtualize via XEN. For this purpose I have purchased a new Sata HDD, in which I have promptly installed CentOS 5.5 x64 with XEN server installed. Now I have two HDD: /dev/sda1 running as host with Xen Server Installed; and /dev/sda2 which is the HDD where the original server has installed.
Is it posible to use /dev/sda2 to work as GuestOS in a xen server? Would I have to modify its kernel?
Thank you for any input
