Best way to migrat a Vm from HPVM 3.5 host to HPVM 4.1 host?

I have a bunch of VMs, of various guest OSes, that are happily running on a HPVM 3.5 host. I have newer hardware running HPVM 4.1 to which I want to move them. What's the best/proper way to do this? I've tried simply creating a new VM, and then copying the old virtual disk over the new one, with less than spectacular results.

Shalom,

Safe way:

Ignite:
make_tape_recover or
make_net_recovery

Boot the new VM machines off the network and load the image onto a new machine.

My suggestion is supported by HP as far as I know.

I hadn't thought of that, and it's brilliant in it's sheer simplicity!
