[Fedora-xen] Install, backup and recover

Hi!

I will have to install almost 30 servers with xen. Each server will
host two guests. Both host and guests OS will be fedora 7. One hard
disk partition will be allocated to each guest, for example:

host -> /dev/sda1
guest1 -> /dev/sda2
guest2 -> /dev/sda3

I did some search in the list archives and google, but found what I
was looking for.

I would like to have some suggestion about the following:

1) The best approach to install all these hosts and guest? Cobbler?
I'm not sure if the server configuration will be all the same.

2)  If the hard disk fail, which is the best approach to recover the
host and guests? Don't care about users data and server config files,
as there will be user data and config backup.

3) If only one of the guests fail, which is the best approach to
recover this guest?

4) If only the host fail, which is the best approach to recover this
host and do not lost access to guest using to such as
virt-manager/virsh/xm?

I can provide more info if needed.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
