[SOLVED] Move VM from a dead node to a second node

[cappxx]

New to proxmox, I was trying to rename the initial node pve1; however, it disabled the initial node and created a new one, vm-dev. The VM (TrueNas) is still located on the dead node; I can’t seem to find any working tutorial that would help me.
Any help would be appreciated!

Also, I need a working tutorial to rename the node correctly.

Just move the config from "old" to "new" one /etc/pve/nodes/<REPLACE_WITH_NODE_NAME>/qemu-server/<VMID>.conf

I can't seem to make it work.

cp: cannot create regular file '/etc/pve/nodes/vm-dev/qemu-server/100.conf': File exists

There is no 100.conf in that directory. Would you mind breaking down the steps.

Try to rename the conf file, move it and rename back on the new place. (I've done this so that I copyed the renamed file to a network share and copyed to the new node then renamed it back on the new node.)
