Move VM's off dead cluster node

[ejmerkel]

Dumb question as I have never ran into this issue before (thankfully), but today I started getting a bunch of notifications that VM's were down and the proxmox hypervisor had locked up. Thankfully, just a reboot of the hypervisor brought everything back online.

We have backups of all the VM's but this node is part of a cluster with shared storage. We don't have HA rules set up, so if for example I had a down node and could not get it back online. What would be the process to migrate the VM's to another node? Could I simply do a migrate from the dead node by logging into the web interface on one of the remaining live nodes and do a migration assuming there is a qorum?

Thanks!

VM configuration is saved in the file /etc/pve/nodes/node_name/qemu-server/xxx.conf file
move this file on working node from /etc/pve/nodes/death_node/qemu-server/xxx.conf to working node.
