With the blocksync.py script on that page you can first make a copy of the
block device while the VM is still running. Then shut down the VM and make

Hi,
I have only one ethernet port in a remote server. (eth0)
I have a public address with x.x.x.164 netmask 255.255.255.240 gw x.x.x.161
and want to use in my guest OS the next available ip address (x.x.x.165 netmask
255.255.255.240 gw x.x.x.161)
Is this posible with brctl to achieve this?
I
Note, the -x argument will keep the copy to a single partition

Create a new virtual machine on your storage. After this, boot some Linux
distribution in your new virtual machine (I like SysrescueCD). Enable your
ssh server, change the root password and so and back to your old virtual
server and type:
# dd if=/dev/sda | ssh root@(new_vm) "(dd of=/dev/sda)"

I often use rsync -a for remote systems or cp -a for local systems.
I've also used dd. You can have dd output to stdout, pipe it to ssh and
have ssh output to dd on the other end.
You can also connect to a SAN device on the source and dd from the local
block device to the SAN device.
Lots of way

One way would be to boot the VMs with a product like Acronis or Ghost, and
create an image of the VM's drive(s).
Then create a new VM on the 2nd server that has nics with the same MAC
addresses as the old VM, and storage with the same sizes, and restore the
image there.

Hi,
I have a server running CentOS 5.5 with KVM capabilities. I need to migrate
all the VMs to another server with the exact same hardware specs. The
problem is it is running on individual harddisks, not shared storage. What
is the best way to migrate to minimise downtime?
Thanks!
YongSan
