Transfer VM from old server to the new server

[nick]

Hi All,

I just buy a new server to replace the old VE; my question is: there is a correct method to transfer safe all VE from old server to the new one.

Thank you

Hi Nick,

Did you take a look at the cluster option?
It works real simple to migrate all containers (just don't use the live option yet)

or use rsync to copy the folowing files/directories:

kvm:

/etc/qemu-server/*
/var/lib/vz/images/

openvz:

/etv/vz/conf/*.conf
/var/lib/vz/private/

templates:

/var/lib/vz/template/

I will test and I'll be back with conclusions!

working perfect! I transfer all machines to the new server!

Now, I can copy from new to old server - just to have a copy of the machine
