Hi Robson, Thank you for your pointers, but I have already explored them and this is not what I am looking for. To convert to qcow2 format using qemu-img convert, I have to have corresponding .img files of each VM. But I have running Xen Server VMs but not their .img files. Because of this how can I convert them to qcow2 format. I believe the problem is clear to all else let me know if you need more inputs.
