PSA migration

Abstract:

Safely migrating Plesk, in the event of an ISP change, hardware or OS upgrade involves the use of multiple systems. This procedure applies to you if:

You are running an End of Lifed (EOL) unsupported operating system like RH9, FC1, FC2, FC3, FC4 or FC5

You need to upgrade hardware

You are moving to a different hosting company

You have a badly laid out file system

1 Plesk Server

1 New Plesk Server

Step 1) Back up the system

Step 3) Surpress email notifications from mailman

Mailman will send out notifications to everyone when you migrate, block this short term with firewall rules:

iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j DROP
