<div class="im"><br>
thanks for reading and answering. I read the article about the the CERN use<br>
</div>case, but in IMHO it's not the same.<br>
<div class="im">They use complete partition images for the VMs.<br>
The difference is, they make a dd of the VM-partition and i mount the VM-<br>
partition in the Dom0 and tar the files in the VM-partition. The tar-archive<br>
is my VM-image.<br>
The last days i looked at the scripts of the LVM Transfer Manager. Maybe it's<br>
possible to change these scripts that they do a mount&tar instead of a dd. But<br>
i don't know how the processes work in detail.<br>
<br>
All suggestion are welcome.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Andreas<br>
