Hi,
depends on your VMs...
for linux-kvm simply create an new VM, change the VM-harddisk with the copy from your nas (use the right format, qcow2, raw) and power up the VM.
Due to the different mac of the nic you must perhaps edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (on debian based systems) and reboot again and your VM should be up.

Windows create an new nic, which you must configure... (and better remove the old invisible nic).

But why is your pve host crashed - any chance to get the config? Perhaps with booting an rescue-cd?

Hi,
I mean it's depends on your vm-hdd-format on the qnap - how looks the structure on the nas?

This is an example on an local storage with hdds in raw format and one in qcow2:

find /var/lib/vz/images/
/var/lib/vz/images/
...
/var/lib/vz/images/508/vm-508-disk-1.raw
/var/lib/vz/images/508/vm-508-disk-2.raw
...
/var/lib/vz/images/505/vm-505-disk-2.qcow2
/var/lib/vz/images/505/vm-505-disk-1.raw

the path belongs to storage (local: /var/lib/vz/images) VMID and disk:

grep 505 /etc/pve/qemu-server/505.conf 
ide0: local:505/vm-505-disk-1.raw,format=raw,size=14G
ide1: local:505/vm-505-disk-2.qcow2,format=qcow2,backup=no,size=6G

The format is from an actual pve - not 1.x! But I assume your new-host has an actual pve?!

hi ,
its a Raw format so after mounting the NFS-storage in Qnap , they are just folders , how can i do this ?.

thanks

What kind of folders?

Normaly define the storage in the gui and pve mount the nfs-store.

Then create an VM with one of the number you have on the qnap (with an small local disk); edit the configfile and replace local with your storagename - like qnap.
