Here is the Lab Scenario
I have created Proxmox3.1 Two Nodes Cluster, & DRBD for Shared storage (Live & non live migration works flawlessly) & everything works as desired.
what I want to know, if 1st Server in the Cluster is crashed, how can I restore the Virtual Machine image (which is of course safe due to DRBD) on the 2nd Server in Cluster ?

Hi,
your remaining node need cluster-quorum (this is the reason why its recommend to use three nodes in a cluster) - "pvecm expected 1" is an option if one node is down.

If you have quorum - e.g. /etc/pve isn't read-only you can move the config to the other node:
Code:
mv /etc/pve/nodes/proxmox2/qemu-server/*.conf /etc/pve/nodes/proxmox1/qemu-server/
The VMs appeared in the gui and you can start them.
