Hi James,
thax for your quick reply!
I actually did that and in xentop you see the memory being built up to the actual value and then the DomU just disappears. If you do it the other way, the machine is migrated, but if you migrate back, the migration seems to take for ever and the original DomU has crashed with a blue screen.
