Live migration only works because the emulated hardware at both ends is identical, whereas the emulated hardware at both ends of a v2v conversion is completely different. However after shutting down the source Xen PV guest, it ought to be possible to convert it to run on KVM using virt-v2v, something like: virt-v2v -ic xen+ssh://root@xen-host.example.com centos-guest (This is assuming the new version of virt-v2v >= 1.27.xx) Read the virt-v2v manual page carefully: http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
