    Couple of utility scripts to capture and restore XEN vms so that we · c159032d

    can move them elsewhere.
    
    	capturevm.pl pcvmxxx-yy boss
    
    will create a directory called boss and take imagezips of all the lvms
    into that directory. A slightly modified xen config is written to the
    directory. The XEN VM should not be running of course, and the easiest
    way to stop it (without losing the disks) is:
    
    	/usr/local/etc/emulab/vnodesetup -jh pcvmxxx-yy
    
    Copy the directory someplace, and then run:
    
    	restorevm.pl boss /path/to/above/stuff
    
    which create new LVMs and then imageunzip the contents into them. A
    slightly modified xen config file is then written to /var/tmp, which
    can started with "xm create /var/tmp/boss.conf".
    
    No rocket science here, but this was the easiest way to get all the
    disks we create for XEN elabinelab, and since they can pretty big, we
    want to use imagezip.
