Both hosts are in Cloudstack, right?  Both hosts are in the same Zone, Pod, and Cluster, right?  If that's the case, then there's two easy ways to go about this.  First is to simply manually migrate the VMs to the host you'd like to use.  You do this by going in the Cloudstack Management GUI, click on Instances on the left hand column, click on the instance you'd like to migrate, then click the little cross-arrows icon (see below)



This will prompt you for a host to move it to.  Select the host and it will move.  

The other option if you are using HA, is just put your host in to Maintenance Mode within cloudstack, this will migrate any Vms that are currently running on that host to another host.
