Ok this is some thing I would be trying in next 24 hours.
I am having a doubt LVM is a block device do I not need to create an
LVM of same size on the remote machine to be able to do so?
The LVM on the original server stores a guest OS running,on KVM on Lucid.
so will I be able to boot from the LVM copied with the above method on
KVM running on destination server.
Given that I create xml for guest in similar fashion.
