How to migrate VMS on ZFS file system or could i move them by creating cluster?

[TropiHost]

Hello and thank you for viewing this thread i have two proxmox nodes running proxmox 4.

and i have 1 vm on server A and 4 vms on server B

the file system is zfs because server A has 4x drives and i did raid 10 software.

other server is raid 1 with software and zfs with 2x drives.

i need to migrate all of the servers to one server because i need to reuse one of them.

any idea how i can do this? i tried by creating a cluster so i can live migrate all the vms to one server but it told me that i couldnt create a cluster because one of the servers had 1 vm on it.

im stuck and this is very urgent because i really need this server but i also need to keep the vms that are on it so it is imperative that i consolidate everything to one node.

please help!

pve-zsync looks like it should do what you're looking for: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PVE-zsync

It depends if you mind taking each VM down for a while. The easiest non-cluster migration is to stop the VM, make a backup of it from the proxmox GUI, ftp the backup .lzo to the new server, and use qmrestore to import the backup.
