Is there a way (without having to use the backup/restore option with PBS or an NFS share) of moving/migrating a VM or CT from a PVE host (node 1) to another PVE host (node 2) without having to create a Cluster with the two nodes? Thanks
 
Two options:
  • Manually transfer config file and disk(s) to target node.
  • if network connection is available, use for vm command qm remote-migrate, for lxc pct remote-migrate
