I don't see a problem with that, in fact I think it would be a wise idea. Note that anything built on Centos may not work on Debian - I suggest recompiling/installing it on Debian then copying your configuration.

Hi All,
I have a 4.2 install of Hobbit up and running and I am very happy with it. It runs on an old Gateway workstation with a Celeron and 512MB and performs stellar! CentOs 5 nothing fancy. I was going to move it to a more recent piece of hardware a Dell OptiPlex 320, which at least it is under warranty. I had the Idea of running it as a Xen VM on a Debian host. Is this a bad idea?
Clarification of purpose: I'm really not going to run anything else on the Xen except for this one VM and maybe and I mean maybe a test xymon VM directly replicated from the working production VM. This is to provide me with a quick failover ability of copying the image (from backup or if the HD is intact directly from there) to another Xen host and BLAMO xymon is running within minutes.
Does this sound OK? Is there a better way to accomplish this?
Thank you,
