Completing Migrations from Linux/Unix Servers

To complete migration if dump transfer to target server failed:

1. On the source server, locate the required dump directory.

   By default, dump directories are created in /usr/local/.

2. Open the file content-list.xml to see what files were created.
3. Move all these files, including dump.xml, to the destination server.
4. In a Web browser, log in as administrator to target Parallels Plesk Panel.
5. Go to Home > Migration Manager (in the Help & Support group), and then click Start Migration.
6. Select the option Transfer data already processed by the migration agent and located on the local host.
7. In the Migration data file location box, type the path to the directory where you saved the data at the step 3.
8. Click Next >>.

To complete migration if data import to PPP failed:

1. In a Web browser, log in as administrator to target Parallels Plesk Panel.
2. Go to Home > Migration Manager (in the Help & Support group), and then click Start Migration.
3. Select the option Transfer data already processed by the migration agent and located on the local host.
4. In the Migration data file location box, type the path to the directory specified previously as Temporary Files Location.

   By default, it is /usr/local/psa/PMM/var/.

5. Click Next >>.

In case a dump creation fails, you may also try to create it manually by using Linux/Unix migration agent - the PleskX.pl utility.

To create dump manually using command line:

1. Locate the following folders on your Parallels Plesk Panel 9 server, and copy all their content to a single directory on the source server.
   • On Windows platforms:

     %plesk_dir%\PMM\Migration\Platforms\UnixShared\PleskX\ and %plesk_dir%\PMM\Migration\Platforms\UnixShared\shared\

   • On Linux/Unix platforms, you need to copy all files from the following folders:

     <parallels_plesk_panel_installation_directory>/PMM/Agents/PleskX/ and <parallels_plesk_panel_installation_directory>/PMM/Agents/shared.

2. On the source server, run the PleskX.pl utility with the appropriate command line options:
   • To make a copy of all domain and user accounts:

     # PleskX.pl –dump-all

   • To make a copy of specific domains:

     # PleskX.pl –dump-domains=<comma-separated list of domain names>

   • To make a copy of specific user accounts:

     # PleskX.pl –dump-resellers=<comma-separated list of resellers' IDs assigned by the source Parallels Plesk Panel system>

     or

     # PleskX.pl –dump-clients=<comma-separated list of clients' IDs assigned by the source Parallels Plesk Panel system>

   • To read about additional command line options supported by the PleskX utility, issue the command

     # PleskX.pl ––help

3. Proceed as described in the first procedure in this section.
