Ok, you are asking how easy it is to do a server->VE migration. Many people say you can tar up the source server's / and create a VE from it, and I have done this successfully too. However its best to migrate over your applications, system files (passwd, shadow) manually if you are hosting production services.

Commercial VZ has a conversion utility for "dedicated server to vps" conversion, but it doesn't work 100% either.

Bottom line, treat server->VE migration like migrating from a conventional server to conventional server.
