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


Prereqs:

1 Plesk Server

1 New Plesk Server


Step 1) Back up the system

Step X) Plesk Restore

Task 1) Prep

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --create-map backup -map map

Task 2) Restore

/usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore --restore backup  -level all  -map map


Step X) 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


Step X) Testing Checklists

Web
