Migrating from Fedora 12 with Xen 4.0.1 to Fedora 17

[Roberto Fichera]

Hi All,

I'm going to setup some new machines with latest Fedora 17 64bit to
replace some older machine having Fedora 12 with a Xen 4.0.1 + virt-manager
and kernel 2.6.32.26-174.xendom0.fc12.x86_64.  So, I want to move all the
DomU from F12 to F17, does anyone can suggest me the best way to do so?

The DomU disks are exposed as iSCSI interface, so I guess the problem
is just to backup the conf from F12 and restore it in some way under F17.

Thanks in advance.
Roberto Fichera.

The biggest issue you are going to hit is your network setup.
Xen doesn't do it anymore and lets NetworkManager or your own custom
/etc/sysconfig/if... scripts do it.

That's fine! I've already done the network setup for both ethernet and infiniband
(iSCSI
disks are exposed here).
So, I guess I'll need is to make a backup/restore of the storage list under
virt-manager
so all the iSCSI disks. But I don't know if need to backup something about the DomU
configuration.
