Subject: guest .img files
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2009 10:12:03 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000c01ca4f44$90b54650$b21fd2f0$@com> (raw)
I have a windows 2003 server guest that's been registered
with MS, and it probably won't let me do that many more
times. So I want to save the guest, erase fedora, and
install centos 5.4 when it comes out.
Im told I can just copy the .img file of the guest to a
network share to back it up, but is there anything I would
need to do to have the virt-manager gui on the new OS see it
and list it when I copy it back? Does it need to be imported
in some way?
Someone mentioned some sort of xml file is needed for the
image for virt-manager. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
