I'm having a memory related issue with my vps on openvz platform and I guess that my hosting provider is overselling RAM. So, I'm thinking to move on a xen platform since ram cannot be oversold but I don't want to re-configure everything from the beginning. Is it possible to take an image of my current vps running on openvz and extract it on a xen platform? This is not for developing or testing, it will be for production use.
All suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Quick short answer more to encourage research but give you the idea:
exclude.txt
/boot
/proc
/sys
/tmp
/dev
/var/lock
/etc/fstab
/etc/mdadm.conf
/etc/mtab
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/conf.d/net
/etc/network/interfaces
/etc/networks
/etc/sysconfig/network*
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf
/etc/sysconfig/ip6tables-config
/etc/sysconfig/kernel
/etc/hostname
/etc/HOSTNAME
/etc/hosts
/etc/modprobe*
/etc/modules
/etc/udev
/net
/lib/modules
/etc/rc.conf

rsync -e 'ssh -p 30000' -azPx --delete-after --exclude-from="/home/demo/exclude.txt" / root@1.2.3.4:/
You basically are just cloning from one server to another.
Do some trial runs first. This is just a copy and paste from my local saved notes. ;)
