+---
+
+## 15. Action checklist (do in this order)
+
+> **Two operation types:** **host migrate** (PDM "Migrate" — moves compute, disk
+> stays put) and **disk migrate** (Proxmox UI: VM → Hardware → disk → Move
+> Storage, or `qm move-disk`). For NFS VMs both can be done live with brief I/O
+> pauses. Recommended: do disk moves first, then host moves.
+
+### Phase 0 — cleanup (frees resources first)
+
+- **Stop + destroy cnode4 (VMID 601) on tsys6** — not joined to the 3-node cluster; stale.
+- **Stop + destroy cnode5 (VMID 706) on tsys7** — same. Frees 8 GB + 8 vCPU total.
+
+### Phase 1 — disk migrations off D2 (IOPS rebalancing, ~11 moves)
+
+> Order: move the VMs whose HOST is also changing last (Phase 2), so you do one
+> disk move per still-on-original-host VM first. All targets are **HDD** exports.
+
+- **wnode-tsys5 (509):** move disk **D2 → S4** (host stays tsys5)
+- **tsys-awx (600):** move disk **D2 → D5** (host stays tsys6)
+- **hfnoc-uisp (702):** move disk **D2 → S1** (host stays tsys7)
+- **rr-middleware (703):** move disk **D2 → S4** (host stays tsys7)
+- **TCTC (704):** move disk **D2 → S1** (host stays tsys7)
+- **cnode2 (705):** move disk **D2 → S2** (host stays tsys7)
+
+### Phase 2 — host + disk migrations (RAM/CPU relief, 6 VMs)
+
+- **tsys-librenms (104):** host **tsys1 → tsys7**, disk **D2 → S1**
+- **tsys-proxmox-datacenter (105):** host **tsys1 → tsys7**, disk **D2 → S1**
+- **tailscale-router (109):** host **tsys1 → tsys7** (disk stays **D2**)
+- **kali-tsys (114):** host **tsys1 → tsys7**, disk **D2 → S3**
+- **tsys-secure-workbench (117):** host **tsys1 → tsys7**, disk **D2 → S4**
+- **tsys-siem (901):** host **tsys9 → tsys6**, disk **D2 → S1**
+
+> Result: tsys1 drops to 6 VMs (~24 GB alloc, 77%). tsys9 drops to 5 VMs.
+
+### Phase 3 — grow the compute wnode
+
+- **wnode-tsys9 (905):** resize **4c/4GB → 6c/8GB** (requires stop/start; done after siem leaves tsys9)
+
+### Phase 4 — optional (only if you want a 16 GB cross-compile node on tsys9)
+
+- **tsys-ucs-02 (902):** host **tsys9 → tsys6** (disk stays S2) — frees 8 GB on tsys9
+- Then grow **wnode-tsys9 (905):** 8 GB → **16 GB** (tsys9 alloc then ~108% but actual still <80%)
+
+### Phase 5 — bring the workers into the cluster (after placement settles)
+
+- **Join the wnodes** (wnode-tsys1/3/5/6/7/9) to the k3s cluster via `k8s/join-servers.sh`
+- Label them by role: `workload=compute` (tsys3/9/2), `workload=rackrental` (tsys6/7), `workload=light` (tsys1/5)
+
+### Verification after each phase
+
+- `qm list` on each host — confirm VM count + status
+- `pveperf` / `cat /proc/meminfo` — confirm actual RAM ≤ 80%
+- `kubectl top nodes` — confirm cnodes healthy
+- After Phase 1/2: `ssh root@pfv-tsys4 'df -h /mnt/*'` and `ssh root@pfv-tsys5 'df -h /mnt/*'` — confirm disks rebalanced (D2 frees up, S1 fills)
