Ryan,
For all purposes we are talking about harddisks (NTFS, EXT3, EXT4...
), albeit virtual. Nothing prevents you from making these machines boot
with Hiren's BootCD (http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd) and perform a
ghost copy and use the same strategy for recovering these disks in new
virtual machines that you will create on the new HyperVisor (XCP). Example,
you create a new virtual machine Win2K3 on the new HyperVisor (XCP) and
over "it" (on the virtual disk) restores the old Win2K3 image the you had
on the old HyperVisor!

Subject: Re: [Xen-API] vmware to XCP?
Right on. I found out the import tool does not come with XCP out of the
box For anyone else who may have this issue the article that helped me
ishttp://blogs.citrix.com/2010/12/09/diagnosing-xenserver-appliance-wizard-failures/
(http://blogs.citrix.com/2010/12/09/diagnosing-xenserver-appliance-wizard-failures/)
I used xenserver6.0.iso instead of 5.6 and it worked beautifully.
Philipp, have you used the XenServer Conversion manager before? Looks
like
it is supposed to rip guest machines from a vmaware host directly to XCP…
I may try it this weekend as all guest machines must be off in order to
perform this action.
Thanks for the reply Philipp!
Cheers,
Ryan

Subject: Re: [Xen-API] vmware to XCP?
Yes, I'm currently doing this with some machines running on an ancient
VMware Server 2.0. I suppose this going to work for ESX 3.x and vSphere 4.x
as well.
I'm using VMware's OVF Tool to convert the machines to OVF and then
import
them in XCP. After that I boot the machine in HVM-mode, reconfigure the
virtual machine for paravirtualization and reboot in PV-mode.
Regards,
Philipp
