I have finally migrated a minor (i.e. not critical) Xen server. No real problems, just minor ones :
  • the migration installed the xen-hypervisor package with PAE installed. I thought PAE was for high-memory systems, so I removed it and installed the non-PAE one. Xen never boot, complaining about PAE not on Xen, but on dom0. I didn't search a lot about this problem, but the reinstallation of the package solved it
  • domUs can't boot because of the vmlinuz and initrd versions specified in their conf files!! easily solved :)
  • don't forget to enable your network in the Xen configuration file ;-)

So, apart from 'custom' errors, no real problems, I just followed the guidelines from the debian.org site. Now, I can work on another Xen dom0 migration, and on my domU sarge installations.
