= Moving virt (drives) to new hardware =

If you have a case where a virt is dead (due to hardware failure), you can move the drives to a new hardware setup.
Here are the steps and things to look for:

Move the drives to the new box. Most likely, the drives will be recognized and there will be no problems booting up. On Dell PERC 5/6 cards you will need to import the new "foreign" volume via the raid BIOS.

If the hardware (motherboard) is different, it’s possible the nic’s won’t be recognized. Look at /etc/modules.conf the ethernet drivers are either:

<pre>alias eth0 tg3
alias eth1 tg3</pre>
(supermicro)

Or

<pre>alias eth0 e100
alias eth1 e1000</pre>
(intel)

Or

<pre>alias eth0 bnx2
alias eth1 bnx2</pre>
(dell 29500)

Also, you may see eth0 and eth1 swapped so if after confirming the eth devices are present (may require a reboot), then you may still need to swap the green/yellow network cables in the back to get them on the right port.

VZ will not run (for long) on the new hardware, so you will need to get the license reissued. You may create/download a temporary license via their website for the interim.
