.xva is a format specifically for Citrix Xen. There are tools to convert "classic" Xen VMs to "xva" files: http://www.xen.org/files/xva/README I would be willing to assist in getting this tool to work with your program. All I'd need is a copy of your program along with assistance from Pandu Poluan to test the resulting XVA files. I do not run Citrix XenServer and have no need for it as Xen itself works fine for me. -- Joost
