I have work with Vmware, virtualbox and openvz. In virtualization there will be always the need to move a vm from host to host because lack of resource, the host has been damage and several needs and problems. I have not had problem with Vmware, vbox or openvz to do it, but what happend with XEN?, everywhere i read about it does not give a guide or info how to do it.

My doubt is how to move the vm from host to host, once i have move the conf files how do i move the content data, the drives and the whole vm container?.

Some body knows where Xen keep the drives and how to move then?

Greetings

When the Xen VM was created the locations of the disks are specified. Xen allows you to use a traditional file or use a partition on the disk. If you look in the config file the disk location will be specified. Simply copy the config file and disk image(s) to you new server.

I've done this several times without any problem.

Thanks. I have seen the config file but i was not shure that moving the images was going to work at the first. I did not found the way on the tutorial (man pages and XEN Help).
