1. create a LVM partition of the same size or larger on the target host.
lvcreate…
2. shutdown the vm on the source host
xm shutdown vm
3. copy the LVM partition to the target host using:
dd if=/dev/vg_root/lv_zimbra bs=1k | ssh zen4 dd of=/dev/vg_root/lv_zimbra bs=1k
4. copy the xen startup script for the vm to the target server:
scp /etc/xen/zimbra target:/etc/xen
