as a precaution it's not allowed to join a cluster when you already have VMs on a node (pve-cluster related issues).

just make a backup of the VMs on one node. transfer the backups somewhere, then clean the node and you'll be able to join.

edit: "clean the node" meaning remove the VMs

ok..i need remove vm,then join
 
you can only join a host without vm on it
:eek:

so how to transfer all VM to new cluster 7.0 ?
i just install 7.0 on new hardware, then want to transfer VM from old (6.4) no new 7.0 : what is the best way ?
thank you
