Note the error in the subject line isn't my typo. "To" is misspelled in the error printed by the system.

Copied it to another system:

Linux centos 2.6.32-042stab072.10 #1 SMP Wed Jan 16 18:54:05 MSK 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[root@centos root]# ls /vz/private/204
[root@centos root]# ls /vz/root/204

Note, I was following the instructions at https://openvz.org/Checkpointing_and_live_migration. When moving from one system to another you have to manually transfer the config file and make the /vz/root/<VID> and /vz/private/<VID> directories. I think it should be mentioned on that page.

I also attempted a migration as

[root@chinaberry jwl]# vzmigrate 192.168.2.55 204
Locked CT 
Starting migration of CT 204 to 192.168.2.55

Container start in progress...
vzquota : (error) Quota is not running for id 204

But there was no trace of 204 on the destination system. No config, no root or public directories.

Thanks for any help

Jim.

You don't have any data in the /vz/private/204 directory so the server won't be able to load. Checkpointing only saves the memory to the dump, not the hard drive.

It looks like you are just trying to migrate so the easy way is just to use vzmigrate with the --live option which will use checkpointing along with the hard drive transfer.

As for the migration failing, enable verbose so you can see more details as to why it is failing but I would recommend doing this before migrating:

Remove /vz/private/204 and /vz/root/204
Remove /etc/vz/conf/204.conf

Then see if it works. I have seen the migration fail quite often when the server data already exists on the destination node.

If a live (online) migration fails, then it is most likely due to processor differences or kernel differences and you'll just have to do an offline migration which will require a couple minutes of downtime depending on how big the virtual server is. The key to having live migration work is using a similar kernel and similar processor.
