Hi,

I think your image is broken.
Try to use the vmdk instead the converted one and then convert over the gui.

KVM can read vmdk files but they are very slow so do not use it for production.
 
Thanks for help but seems like there is no problem on image.

qemu-img check /home/qcow2/server1.qcow2
No errors were found on the image.
