Interested in node density

If you copy the config to another node you can start it from the GUI on this node. Eg.
1) Node1 is down so login to node2
2) mv /etc/pve/nodes/node1/qemu-server/vm1.conf /etc/pve/nodes/node2/qemu-server/vm1.conf
3) Start vm1 in the GUI where vm1 will appear stopped on node2

Thank you @mir. I know that, yet there is no way for a not-so-experienced Proxmox VE user/admin to do that without going to command line. Therefore, a offline migration to another node is the only way to achieve this without going down to command line. And IIRC, you asked about a use case of offline migration: Could anybody give a good reason for migrating stopped VM/CT's?
