I am having a doubt LVM is a block device do I not need to create an LVM of same size on the remote machine to be able to do so? The LVM on the original server stores a guest OS running,on KVM on Lucid. so will I be able to boot from the LVM copied with the above method on KVM running on destination server. Given that I create xml for guest in similar fashion.
