Hi Folks,
I'm about to migrate a VM from Xen, running on our own server, to a cloud service -
probably Digital Ocean - running under K8.
I just discovered virt-v2v and libguestfs and these seem like good starting points. Any
suggestions on good places to start, tutorials, other places to seek advice, any specific
steps to take - would be very much appreciated.
Basic setup:
*
A legacy system that we're retiring (our own servers running in a commercial data
center)
*
Xen 3.0
*
Server and VM are running Linux 2.6.26-2-xen_686
*
Root & swap are mounted on DRBD volumes (v 8.0.4)
*
Yes - it's all ancient, and temporary while we update things. First step is to get
off aging hardware & ridiculous charges for rack space.
Looking for a simple way to convert the DomU to something that will run on Digital Ocean
or equivalent, and migrating the drbd volumes to Digital Ocean's (or equivalent) block
storage service.
Any suggestions?
Thanks very much,
Miles Fidelman
