RE: Migrating existing VMs into Cloudstack
Hi John, You simply need to export the VMs from the existing XenServer, then import them into CloudStack by first adding them as a Template, then deploying a new VM based on the Template.

Re: Migrating existing VMs into Cloudstack
At this point, nothing other than inspecting how cloudstack handles its own VM and replicating the same in the DB (caution there). Another thing you can try, is deploy a VM through CloudStack, then replace the disk image file. Make sure to keep the original disk image name.
