mbootpack 0.6a (Default branch)

mbootpack is a tool that takes a Multiboot kerneland modules (e.g. a Xen VMM or a xen-linux kerneland initrd), and packages them up as a single filethat looks like a bzImage Linux kernel. The aim isto allow you to boot Multiboot kernels(specifically, Xen) using bootloaders that don'tsupport the Multiboot standard (i.e. pretty muchanything except GRUB).License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
The "-t" flag was added to strip out paths whenmaking module command-lines. The layout was fixedfor kernels that load above 1MB; they are nowloaded at 1MB and relocated at boot time insteadof having a lot of zeroes in the output file.64-bit compiles were made to work properly.Image

NAME
dtc-xen_migrate - migrate a VPS to another Xen server SYNOPSIS
LOCAL_VPS_ID DESTINATION_HOSTNAME [ DEST_VPS_ID ] DESCRIPTION
dtc-xen_migrate This shell script is a part of the dtc-xen package that is to be used by the dtc panel to manage a Xen VPS server. Note that you need rsync in both the source and the destination dom0. This script is used to move the content of a Xen virtual machine (VM) managed with dtc-xen to another Xen server of the same type. The VM destination will first be prepared, then the local VM will be shut down, then it's content will be transfered over using rsync. Note that this is NOT a live migration, and down time of approximatively the time needed for the rsync will occure. PARAMETERS
LOCAL_VPS_ID The DTC-Xen id of the VM, from 00 to 99. DESTINATION_HOSTNAME Destination Xen server hostname to migrate to. DEST_VPS_ID Destination DTC-Xen id of the VM, from 00 to 99. EXAMPLE
dtc-xen_migrate 19 alpha.example.com 21 This will migrate the content of xen19 on the local machine to the destination server alpha.example.com using xen21 as VM name. SEE ALSO
