Migrate VM from one proxmox install to another

How to migrate VMs from one proxmox install to another?

My situation is that i want to simply migrate, from server A to server B.

VMs will change IP address but all the rest should be the same.
Whats the best way of doing this ?

To configure the 2 proxmoxs as cluster and then use the migrate, or there's another way?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
if the VMs are kvm and you dont have a cluster, then you can copy the imagedata and the conf-file.

eg:

scp -r /var/lib/vz/images/105 192.168.1.20:/var/lib/vz/images/
scp /etc/qemu-server/105.conf 192.168.1.20:/etc/qemu-server/

The VMs schould switch off and the VMID must be free on the second server.

make a backup with vzdump and then restore (with vzrestore).
