This will work for you....

Shutdown ALL Services in the VMs on the HyperV-Box, like mysql and
whatever because of "opened Files" which could cause a FS-Error....

All Steps below are done on the dom0....

Create a LVol on the XEN-Box

  lvcreate -L 15G -n VM1-Disk $VG

Create a FS

  eg.
  # mkfs.ext3 /dev/$VG/VM1-Disk

Mount the LVol in Dom0

  # mount /dev/$VG/VM1-Disk /mnt

Copy the entire /-FS from your Hyper-V-VM to the dom0

On the Dom0:

  # rsync -avzH --numeric-ids -e ssh root@OLD-IP:/* /mnt/

Create a xen-config for your new Host and boot it up....
