P2v migration linux server under xenserver

In the era of virtualization and cloud computing and the container, we migrated all the applications run by physical servers to virtualize private clouds with xen. At this time, there will be a problem of physical server migration to the virtual server. Migrating windows to xencover can be done, but Linux, many people on the network did not say. Here I briefly introduce the migration process:

2. Use the network method to hang on nas

3. Use dd to hard disk block Lead to nas

4. Start vm!
