I have a 2 node Proxmox 3.4 cluster (not using HA or fencing). One is disconnected from the primary network due to a failed switch. I can get into it via the storage network. I need to manually migrate a few VMs to the active node. I planned to do this by shutting down the VM on the disconnected node, running "pvecm expected 1" on the active node, then copying the VM config file manually to the right place in /etc/pve/nodes/, then start it back up.

I'm not sure, however, what will happen once the disconnected node comes back online. I want to make sure doing this won't affect anything negatively when the disconnected node comes back online. All the research I've done has shown how to remove a node, but I don't want to remove it.
