[PVE-User] Moving VM from one server to another

[Timh B]

Hey,

The openvz containers are usually stored in /var/lib/vz/private/<VMID>/.
Modifying and copying the config, data from /etc/vz/conf/<VMID>.conf,
/etc/qemu-server/<VMID>.conf, /var/lib/vz/private/<VMID> and
/var/lib/vz/images/<VMID> to a new machine "should" work. There might be
some extra work with getting networking etc to run but you should be able
to figure that out from there.

BR,
Timh
