Hello,

I'm trying to copy VMs from those two versions.
I'm using backup / restore.
It works fine for kvm vms but I cannot manage to do it for vz VMs :
# vzrestore vzdump-101.tgz 1006
can't lock container 1006

I tried using differents VMIDs, using -force true option, but still the same problem...

Any idea ?

Cheers.

can you create new containers on your 2.2?
 
Hello,

That's a good point, I never tried to create a container.
I tried and got same error...
Do I have an issue with my installation ?

Pascal.
 
Your were right is some way.
I tried to create a container and it failed for the same reason.
vzctl package was not installed properly and thus not started. I corrected it and managed to create the VM.

Thank you for helping !
Regards,
