I can't say I've ever tried it before, but Linux is a pretty easy OS to
migrate. Create a fresh new PV guest and install the same OS as you're
copying. Then basically jump into single-user mode, get the network
online, and carefully copy the entire hard disk over to the new guest
system (obviously avoid things like /dev, /proc and /boot). What you
really want is a new system that is functionally identical to the old
one. No "magic" migration has to be done -- just make sure that all the
apps and config files and startup scripts are copied over to the new system.

Is there a set of instructions or tools to migrate an existing RHEL4 (stand
alone) host to a RHEL5 PV guest, i.e. package an existing OS installation so
it runs as a guest in RHEL5? I've searched Redhat and googled and haven't
come up with anything other then packages included within the commercial
versions from Xensource.
