I'd like to know if it's possible to clone a running domU. The LVM

it's running.
dd almost certainly won't give you a usable filesystem in your copy.
Using LVM you should be able to make a snapshot of the filesystem which
should be at least as consistent (integrity wise) as if you'd done an
'xm destroy' on the domain.
A neat way to do that is if you use zfs-backed storage, either
directly (using Sun's xVM) or having solaris export the volume over
iscsi to linux box. The "clone" process for zfs is two simple commands
: "zfs snanpshot" and "zfs clone", which is almost instaneous.

Sure, but I don't. I'm using CentOS as OS, with ext3 :) So, I need to
work with what I have
