I'm in the process of migrating from Proxmox to another virtualization platform because business needs require Veeam, and Veeam doesn't support Proxmox.
To do this I've been pulling a node, configuring it using the other hypervisor, and pushing a restore of my VMs to the new hypervisor. I've done this with 2 nodes of my original 3-node cluster (which means failover clustering now works), but I'm running into issues on the third.
Basically, I have this:
My goal is to get the 2 existing VMs running, back them up, restore the backups on the new hypervisor, and then migrate this machine to the new platform.
What's the easiest way to get around the quorum issue?

Basically, I have this:
- One VM running that's, well, running. This will be easy to migrate.
- One I shut down that I can't start because there's no quorum.
- One that is essentially a failed restore of a machine that got hacked a long time ago (on yet another hypervisor). There's a database and some images i want to recover some day, but basically it's not bootable - I just want to create a new VM, mount this as a drive on it, and grab the data I'm interested in someday recovering.
