Can I copy my virtual box VM windows XP virtual-machine files to another Linux computer and run the machine on that computer while I keep on running it on the original computer?
This question is about technical possibilities, not licences.
i would like to copy all files from my server001 (/var/www/vhosts/*/httpdocs/) to my server002 (/var/www/virtual/*/htdocs/) i would do it via rsync... but i dont want to do it as root! what would be the right user with which I should login myself via rsync? www-data? its the group of each domain-folder...
Quote:
server002:/var/www/virtual# ls -lh
insgesamt 4,0K
drwxrwx--- 10 vu2001 www-data 4,0K 9. Mär 09:58 domain.com
server002:/var/www/virtual#
but the files inside htdocs are only accessable for the user!
Code:
server002:/var/www/virtual/domain.com/htdocs# ls -lh | grep index.php
-rwxr-xr-x 1 vu2001 vu2001 397 24. Feb 23:30 index.php
server002:/var/www/virtual/domain.com/htdocs#
server002 will be the backup-server if the server001 is down!
I have a tarball of my old .thunderbird directory that I untarred onto my new machine. When I open Thunderbird, it wants me to go through the setup process. I've copied these files before and was able to get into my email.

Two questions:
1. Can I copy xx.default to DVD, its 1.5GB in size, and then merge it into the xx.default of the other machine or try and connect through a crossover cable. I tried to copy onto a flash drive but it did not recognize Inbox.sbd as a folder.
2. How do I manager the existing files in the receiving machine, it has an existing mail account.
We are experiencing problems copying files from a server to server where the machine issuing the copy is a 32-bit lucid and the mount drive is a 64-bit server. I have no other information but the md5's are consistently different after doing a copy. The files are > 8mb.

how do I set up a virtual machine in Fedora 14? Do I do it through Quemu? I did not see Virtualboxose within the repositories. If some one would be so kind as to instruct me (please simple step by step instructions for setting up a virtual machine or for downloading and installing Virtualboxose or any other version of Virtualbox I would forever be indebted to you. I would like to install Fedora on my laptop instead of Ultimate Edition 2.8 of which I am getting tired of any Ubuntu based distribution.Oh by the way I tried the new Gnome 3.0 shell with Laughlin 15 and I was impressed. I can't wait til it is released. Also could someone point me in the right direction as to where I might ask, request, or just offer suggestions for software packages to be placed within the repositories.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm having some issues with a windows virtual machine. The system is Fedora 11 and the virtual machine is Windows 2008 Server. If I start the virtual machine from the virtual machine manager, it only has a single cpu despite my setting it to eight. If I start the machine from the command line, I can get four cpus but not eight. In both cases windows seem to display the eight cpus in the device manager (or whatever program it is). It has been suggest that windows was imaged on a four core machine before being loaded on the eight core machine and that something in windows is maxing at four cores. But that doesn't explain why the virtual machine manager can only start one cpu. I just played around on my home machine with a fedora 10 live cd and it recognized the two cores on that machine and used them from the virtual machine manager without problem. Also upped it to three cpus without problem.

I am experiencing a multicpre problem with fedora14 / kernel 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP. (standard from the distro). The host has a total of 2 cores .yet a virtual machine started with 'smp 2' ( or xml : <vcpu>2</vcpu>) will not run on 2 pyhs cores . it will use just 1 core ('top' at the host shows 100%cpu while running an endless loop process on the VM) and libvirt 'virsh vcpuinfo <vm name>' shows only 1 physical cpu used (although 2 vcpus are used : 0, 1) The kernel seems to be an SMP one ( so says the uname -a . what does '#1 SMP' mean ?) . Am I missing something ? same XML on a DEBIAN machine will run the VM with 2 phys cores as should although the host there has 4 cores (>2)Should I recompile the kernel src with some addtional flag ?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to SCP a couple files from my Ubuntu 10.10 machine to a Fedora 12 machine. Before today, did it with out any problems, always worked. Today however; after the SCP is complete from my machine, the file on the other machine is zero bytes, an empty file. The only thing I can remember getting changed was the new kernel that was in the update I did today. But I don't think that would have changed the SCP works.

I was told fedora is great operating system but all i run is into trouble, hours spend on searching for solutions and never get an easy answer as it is on Leopard or even windows 7.What's my problem. I installed a new dvd copy of fedora13, and now connected 2 USB hard drives that seem to connect fine, can access everything but if i try to copy files to one of the drives it says i don't have permissions, and the fields to change permissions access are blank.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy Source folder contains 424.8 GB in 502,474 files. My Destination folder was created fresh, and after the copy contains 394.0 GB in 486.514 files. I am running it as grsync with root authority. The only options are to preserve time, permissions, owner and group., and to produce a verose output and transfer progress. There are no exceptions specified to skip any files.
The rsync command is this:
rsync -r -t -p -o -g -v --progress -c -l -H -D -s /mnt/Backups/monthly.3/ /mnt/EX-Fantom/monthly.3/
I have run it again to give it a chance to get it right. Same result. The source is in an rsnapshot folder, but this is the first backup, the original, containing only whole files, not links.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI can create a virtual machine I named vm1 and the virtual-machine manager says it's running.
I don't know how to load windows XP.
The vm1 virtual machine console is frozen with the message "Booting from hard drive." But I know it can't boot from hard drive because I haven't loaded windows XP yet. When I created the vm1 virtual machine I put the windows XP CD in the optical drive and directed the menu to the CD. I heard it running, but still the console is trying to boot from the hard drive. I never got to the point where it asked me any windows XP software loading questions.
I have an F12 installation on which I have installed NoMachine's NX server. I can remote in nicely when needed (try to do as much as possible via SSH) while not having to boot into and stay on Gnome on the server and run VNC.I noted that when I try to start the Virtual Machine Manager from an NX session, I get an error that VMM is "unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon". libvirtd is running, however. And, when I startx on the server and try there, VMM works fine.Is this an inherent problem with the use of VMM, or something correctable?

I'm hoping this is the right sub-forum, if not please move this post. My question is, how would I go about moving an LVM based virtual machine to a different host? Can I just use dd to copy the entire logical volume to a file, move the file to the other host, then again use dd to copy the file onto a newly created logical volume? I'm using KVM by the way.
