I have a Centos 4 machine, I'd like to try cloning it from a physical
machine to a VM on another system, I've installed Centos 6 on the new
machine, and, learning how to setup VM how would I clone existing system
across LAN to VM ? thanks for any tips
That is a old version so I would be inclined to upgrade.
That being said I'll echo another’s comments and rebuild the machine.
* use RPM to list all the $packages
* Install a base install
* yum -y install $packages
* rsync /home/ server:/home/ (repeat for other data dirs)
If you want to clone the config then you could copy files from /etc or
install webmin and backup (old) restore (to new) the config of the
various services.
Just my $0.02
Cheers
Piers
