Hi,
But it's not applied yet, it's still a work-in-progress.
yes, there is: https://lists.proxmox.com/pipermail/pve-devel/2022-September/054148.html

you need to create an api token on destination cluster, then on source cluster
exemple:
works online only currently
exemple:
Code:
qm remote-migrate <srcvmid> <dstvmid> 'apitoken=PVEAPIToken=root@pam!migrator=efgD9b785-f0f3-47bb-8553-26F1166c6ed0,host=remotehost.fqdn' --target-bridge vmbr0:vmbrX,vmbr1:vmbry --target-storage localstorage:deststorage --onlineworks online only currently
Certain storage combinations only work online (e.g. our RBD plugin doesn't implement offline export/import currently), but others work just fine offline (e.g. ZFS -> ZFS, dir -> dir).
Stefan_R, et alia:
The original poster (OP) was asking about several nodes that were entirely not clustered at all and the answer given was regarding "cross-cluster" (meaning two different clusters exist and you wish to move betwixt the two). I am curious to know if the OP's original question is actually being answered?
My question of course has not been asked yet and that is concerning the migration (live or not-live) betwixt a cluster of nodes and a singular node not part of any cluster at all.
Thanks in advance!

For the purposes of the discussion, a standalone server is a one node cluster.
Alex,
Thank you for that clarification as I did not realize that from the prior posts.

All,
Please allow me to proffer this hypothetical:
If one has two different clusters each with 3 nodes ("cluster1" and "cluster2") along with a single un-clustered node "node-unclustered". Is there a "Datacenter view" that will show you all of cluster1 and its nodes, cluster2 and its nodes, and the unclustered node?

Cross-cluster migration is one of the steps that needed to be taken to make something like that usable. A datacenter manager is planned (can't give any ETA though): https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/multi-datacenter-management.66830/page-2
I tried to do a test migration from one cluster to another:
But always show an error "remote: storage 'osdpool' does not exist!"
The target name exists.
What I'm doing wrong ?
Thanks
