I would dd the server's hard drive to an image file. Its probably the most straightforward way.

dd if=/dev/sda of=server.img
use your servers hard drive device node in place of /dev/sda
then write up a domU config:
# general
name = "newVM";
memory = 1024;
# booting
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.x-xenU";
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-ifyouhaveone";
builder = "linux";
# virtual harddisk
disk = ['tap:aio:/xvmstore/images/vmThree.img,sda,w'];
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"; #or whatever your root partition is

It's hard to use dd if the drive is very large. When making an VM, I
only want to system OS/Apps in one vms image file. Extra disk space can
be made available from second vm image or partition.
