VM migration from Xen OSS to CloudStack with XenServer

[Daniel Hertanu <da...@unixmob.com>]

Hi

I realize this question may be more related to Xen OSS/ XenServer however
all the suggestions I found to my problem implies working on the Xen server
while my Xen server is managed by CloudStack so a stopped VM in CloudStack
doesn't even show up on the XeServer.

I have to migrate a VM (installed with HVM drivers) running on Xen OSS. I
grabbed the whole logical volume in a file, mounted the file, did some
changes to grub configuration file and /et/fstab to refer to the new
devices names (xvda vs. sda), then I converted this raw image in VHD format
using Virtualbox tools. Finally I imported the VHD file as template in
CloudStack then I deployed a new VM based on this template. The VM starts
then shuts down quickly but using xenconsole, I was able to see the console
messages (please see bellow). Anyone has any idea what I'm missing? Thanks

Daniel

H Daniel,

looks like a typo. Any luck so far?
