There is a page on this in the wiki and on the forums of openvz ( openvz is similar to vserver and so the same applies but you need to take care of the differences in commands and data files. )
Basically the procedure is to create a newvserver with the minimum requirement having the same dstribution and IP as your physical server then copy the directories preferable with rsync to the vserver make sure that you do not copy /proc or /dev directories. Then you need to manually edit a few files and remove a few services. I tried it and it works well and was easier than I anticipated. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Ipsen Sent: Sunday, November 05, 2006 12:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Vserver] Physical to virtual ? Hi. I have a couple of physical linux servers, that I'd like to move to a vserver environment (have them running on a single physical host)... What is the easiest way to do this ? Can I do something with copying most of the files from the physical server to a vserver catalog (maybe by using tar - I have the possibility to use IBM Tivoli Storage Manager as well) ??
