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,
