= Setup Base OS = I used hetzner's “installimage” to create RAID + LVM.

installimage → Debian → Debian-86-jessie-64-minimal → Hostname enterservername → PART /boot ext3 512M → PART lvm vg0 all → LV vg0 root / ext4 10G → LV vg0 swap swap swap 4G

reboot

Sanity checks free lvscan cat /proc/mdstat cat /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get upgrade mdadm –examine –scan df -h cat /proc/cpuinfo

Some strange reason apt didn't work with ipv6 after the initial update. So to force apt to use ipv4 vi /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99hetzner #add in the line Acquire::ForceIPv4 “true”;

= Install KVM = aptitude install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin #source: https://wiki.debian.org/KVM apt-get install virtinst

If you copy an xml file from libvirt from another PC and drop it in, you need to go: virsh define win01-win7.xml

#On new server: nc -l -p 7000 | dd of=/dev/vg0/win01-win7 bs=2M

#The on old server: dd if=/dev/vg0/win02-win7 bs=2M | nc 88.xx.xx.x 7000 -q 10
