qmrestore / vzrestore failure

So i am trying to transfer a win7 VM from one proxmox server to another. I first did a vzdump, and got the file.vma.gz from server 1, then transferred the file to server 2. Both vzrestore and qmrestore will fail to restore the backup image. I have tried both qmrestore and vzrestore and with every variation on the available options for both commands.

My goal is to move one VM from one physical server to another, so maybe i am not using the right process for this. Any help is much appreciated.

Error from qmrestore
Code:

do you run a cluster and do you have quorum on the server 2?

post the output of:

> pvecm s
 
Thanks for the response!:D No i do not have clustering setup for these servers (the migration would be a lot easier though).


outpu of pvecm s
Code: 
root@proxmox-111:/var/lib/vz# pvecm s
cman_tool: Cannot open connection to cman, is it running ?

that output is the same on both servers.
 
ok, no cluster.

any error in the backup log? I mean you have a restore problem, so fist you need to check if the backup is ok.
 
The backup log looks clean. Yes i have tried different VMID numbers (107, 109, 208), and no luck. I have restarted the server and tried over but same results.

I ran apt-get upgrade, dist-upgrade, & update before starting this process. As per request i reran all 3 commands, 0 package updated/instlled. So i don't think this will help. I have done another vzdump of the VM and am now in the process of transfering the .vma.gz file to server 2 via scp. I will update when this is done. This will be the fourth .vma.gz image i have made and tried to restore. Thank you again for the help.

Hi, check that you use pve-no-subscription repository. (your packages are proxmox 3.1, it should be able to update to 3.2)
 
ok so the source.list file was wrong it didnt have the pve-no-subscription repositorys. After fixing that and updating the qmrestore worked and restored the VM perfectly, but vzrestore is still failing (weird). Thanks for all the help!:D

Code: 
root@promox-111:/var/lib/vz# vzrestore vzdump-qemu-108-2014_05_26-01_06_04.vma.gz 109 -force
