Migrate to XEN and LVM

[Marco Mandl <marco.mandl@gmx.at>]

Hello,

I have Debian Sarge running on a traditional partition. Now I am going to
make a clean install of edge. Before doing this I wish to migrate to LVM
an XEN. Is this realistic?

I was searching a lot but did not find a clear answer, yet.

I am imaging to do something like that:

1. Convert the raw partion to LVM
   How can I do this? It is the root partition of the only installed
   system on that box.
2. Install XEN on a new logical volume.
3. Transfer the old installation into XEN.
   How can I do this?
4. Make a clean install of edge in a new XEN virtual machine.
5. Switch from the sarge VM to the edge VM after finishing its
   configuration and testing.

Is this reasonable?

Can somebody point me to helpful documentation? Any help would be very
appreciated.

Thanks
Marco
