Restore of KVM VMs on Proxmox Cluster without HA

[voolum]

Hi everyone,

i would like to ask a question about the restore procedure in case of a node failure in a proxmox cluster (no HA, with shared storage).

Is it possible to import the VMs of the failed node into a working node by just importing the disk image file (regenerating the config file by hand)? Or do i have to generate backups to do so?

Thanks for your help,

voolum

You just need to move the config to the new node (if the VM is on shard storage):

# mv /etc/pve/nodes/<oldnode>/qemu-server/<vmid>.conf /etc/pve/nodes/<newnode>/qemu-server/
