Hello everybody,
after a week of researching and trying things out, I come to you for help. I have a cluster in proxmox 7 with two nodes. A week ago I configured HA and did the test of moving two VMs from node1 to node2. I left it overnight running and when I checked in the morning I found the two VMs in "migrating locked" state and I can't power them on or move them back to the other node. I have tried everything including deleting the two HA groups of these two VMs that I moved but there is no way. I have backups of one of them which is the important one, can you advise me what I can do to get it working again?
I also did something else afterwards. The name of my cluster is PROXMAN. Node1 is PROXMAN and node2 is PROXMAN2. I tried to rename node1 to PROXMAN1 following a procedure I found here:

- https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Renaming_a_PVE_node
- https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pvecm.html#pvecm_edit_corosync_conf

and ended up messing up node1. After several attempts I managed to recover node1 to its original name (PROXMAN) and I can power on the VMs but in the node1 icon a question mark appears but in the cluster status it appears green and with two nodes active, but if I look at the names I can see as cluster nodes PROXMAN1 and PROXMAN2 but node1 I changed it back to PROXMAN. I do not understand anything.
In short, I have two VMs on node2 in "migrating locked" mode, I have no HA groups and the cluster seems to be active but the node1 icon shows a question mark. where do I start? A thousand thanks in advance for helping me and teaching me so much with your posts.
