====== Migrating a VM  Between Clusters in Proxmox 4 and Up ======
===== Assumptions =====
  - Have a shared LVM storage based on ISCSI or LVM
  - Either have a backup of /etc/pve from the original node or can copy files from /etc/pve from the source node
  - If you are moving a VM with ID=111 from the source node you need to make sure that you have ID=111 free on the target node

===== The Migration ===== 
  - On the target node go into Datacenter then Storage and add the ISCSI or LVM volumes with the same names as the source node.
  - open a terminal session on the target node<file>
cd /etc/pve/local/qemu-server
sftp <targetnode>/etc/pve/local/qemu-server/
get XXX.conf
bye
</file>(grab of copy of VM config from the source node where XXX is the ID of the VM)
  - If you copied the config into the correct location you should see a new VM in the Web Console of the target node.
  - If you have replicated storage correctly your new VM should be startable


===== Notes =====
  - Regardless of the storage the name of the volume is critical for the new VM to locate its  storage
