										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello!</p>
<p>We thought it would be important to share this information as it might be interesting to someone who wants to replicate the same VPS across many instances in order to create a farm of web servers (for example).</p>
<p>This uses very similar concepts to our <A href="http://blog.stardothosting.com/2010/03/19/how-to-backup-xen-with-logical-volume-mounts-works-with-hypervm-solusvm-fluidvm-and-more/">LVM XEN backup</a> post a while back.</p>
<p><big><b>Step 1: Take a snapshot of the current VPS</b></big></p>
<p>This is simple. Use the <b>lvcreate</b> command with the <b>-s</b> option to create a snapshot of the running VPS. We assume your VPS is 5GB in size, so just replace that with however large your VPS is :</p>
<pre>
lvcreate -s -L 5GB -n snapshot_name /dev/VolGroup00/running_vps_image
</pre>
<p><big><b>Step 2: Create your new VPS</b></big></p>
<p>This is important. You want to create a new vps, assign a MAC and IP address first and let the creation process fully finish. Then shut the VPS down.</p>
<p><big><b>Step 3: Copy the snapshot to the new VPS</b></big></p>
<p>All you have to do is use the <b>dd</b> command to transfer the snapshot image to the newly created VPS image :</p>
<pre>
dd if=/dev/VolGroup00/snapshot_name of=/dev/VolGroup00/new_vps_image
</pre>
<p>All done! Dont forget to remove the snapshot after your done with it :</p>
<pre>
lvremove -f /dev/VolGroup00/snapshot_name
</pre>
<p>Start up the new vps and you should have a carbon copy of the previous vps!</p>
