Hi Ken,

Are the Xen hosts both installed with a 64bit OS version? And what
about the SLES 10 domU?

AFAIK, if the files for the domU are not using any Xen 4.x only
functionality (like snapshots) and the arch of the Xen host is same or
higher this should work without too much hassle.
Some more info on what the Xen host setups looks like and why you are
needing to do this might bring up some additional points.

hi,
Currently VM guest running on SLES 11 SP1 x86, and the VM guest is SLES
10 SP4 x86.

I need move the VM guest to XEN host on SLES 11 SP0 x64, it is special
function used in XEN guest like snapshots I think.

Does it possible? just copy the raw file to SLES 11 SP0 x64 XEN host
and re-create VM guest will work?

Thanks/KEN
