Xen host == the physical machine running the hypervisor, the privileged domain
("dom0").
Xen guest == the virtual machine, vm.
Also called as "unprivileged domain",
or domU in Xen talk.
host/guest is the usual/common usage.. for example VMware uses the same naming.
So yeah.. what's the problem actually? You just copy the Xen guest cfgfile
from /etc/xen/<guest> to the new host, and also transfer the disk image contents
to the new host.
Then you're ready to start the guest in the new host.
