RE: [Xen-users] Creating DomU by copying the files from another DomU

[Ryan Perc <furor_hater@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The way I would do it is shutdown the domU and

dd if=/dev/sdaX of=/dev/sdaY

then

copy sdaX cfg file -> sdaY and make the changes you need.

Subject: [Xen-users] Creating DomU by copying the files from another DomU

Hi:

 

2 DomU are running on my systems and I would like to add one more there but without installing it.

 

My DomU 1,2 are in /dev/sda7 and /dev/sda8

 

how is it possible to create another DomU using disk dev/sda9 without installing media.

 

I got the information from somewhere on gogole to use the below steps but it did not work

 

1. ext3 /dev/sda9

2. mount it

3. Copy all data from DomU1 to mounted disk

4. unmount

5. create DomU configuration file

6. now boot new DomU

 

After the above steps the DomU starts grub and then deid....
