Release notes
The Plesk Mass Transfer Script (formerly Mass Migration Script) is designed to allow providers transferring accounts from one Plesk farm to another one by an automated way.
Please feel free to discuss the script in the special thread on the Plesk Forum.
Plesk Mass Migration consists of 2 scripts:
- mmigration.php – designed to Plesk Mass Migration Script and
- run_mmigration.sh – can be used if destination Plesk server is running on the PVC container.
Plesk Mass Migration consists of 2 scripts:
- mmigration.php – designed to Plesk Mass Migration Script and
- run_mmigration.sh – can be used if destination Plesk server is running on the PVC container.
- The mmigration.php script (attached) is designed to migrate one server.
The script does automate some routine like IP address mapping, conflict resolution and destination server initialization.
USAGE:
1. Download the script mmigration.php on the destination server.
2. Execute the script with following command:
1. Download the script mmigration.php on the destination server.
2. Execute the script with following command:
# /usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun mmigration.php -s <source_host> [-l <source_admin_login, by default 'root'>] -p <source_admin_password> [-P <ssh port, by default 22>]The script will create migration sessions for each domain only if you run mmigration.php with '--per-domain' option. By default single migration session is created.
Created migration server can be found at the Parallels Plesk Control Panel -> Tools & Settings -> Migration Manager.
On Windows Plesk server you can run it as:
"%plesk_bin%\php.exe" -d auto_prepend_file="" mmigration.php
Options:
-s <host> source host
-l <login> login, default - Administrator
-p <passwd> password
--per-domain migrate per domain, default - all domains at once
--check check for possible migration issues
--check check for possible migration issues
NOTES:
- It calls pmmcli.py that is existing Plesk Migration Manager (PMM) backend tool.
- It implements a per-domain transferring algorithm that reduces disk space usage and memory consumption.
- IMPORTANT: If a domain with such name already exists on the destination server, domain's data will be overwritten.- PMM tool does not work with an SSH key, so root access is required.- It implements a per-domain transferring algorithm that reduces disk space usage and memory consumption.
- The script must be run on a destination server with Plesk, as well as the "psa-migration-manager" package, installed.
- The script has been verified to work with Plesk 10.4.4, but it will probably also work for all Plesk 9.x/10.x versions.
- Make sure that the destination server has enough number exclusive and shared IP address for the migrated domains.
- If destination Plesk server was not configured, admin's password from source Plesk server will be set.
- mmigration.php always sets SmartRestore="false" for MailEnable and SmarterMail to enable faster mail restoring via native provider, which has been fully implemented since 11.0.9 MU #37 as described in KB article http://kb.parallels.com/114489
- For migration to fresh installed and not configured Plesk server you should:
# /usr/local/psa/bin/ipmanage --rereadNote: If you add IP using 'ipmanage --create', it's not required to run 'ipmanage --reread'. If you add IP using ifconfig or from VZ node using vzctl, order of operations is reverse: at first you add IP, at second you reread IPs using 'ipmanage --reread'
If you reread IPs using 'ipmanage --reread', you should set proper IP types after this.
2. After that you can add IP addresses:
# /usr/local/psa/bin/ipmanage --create 123.123.123.125 -type exclusive -mask 16 -interface eth0
# /usr/local/psa/bin/ipmanage --create 123.123.123.124 -type shared -mask 16 -interface eth03. Also it is necessary to install license key via CLI or API RPC:
CLI:
# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/keymng --install --source-file license_key.xml
API-RPC:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<packet version="1.6.0.2">
<server>
<lic_install>
<license>
.... licence key encoded in base64 ...
</license>
</lic_install>
</server>
</packet>- If you are going to migrate domains to the Parallels Plesk Panel installed inside PVC container, please use the script the run_mmigraiton.sh script (attached).
It is designed to launch the mmigration.php to perform batch-transferring from one Parallels Plesk Panel server to the PVC container.
Also we provide the following step-by-step migration scenario using run_mmigration.sh:
1. Get latest run_mmigration.sh and mmigration.php
2. Set root password on source Virtuozzo Container if it's unknown.
3. Install license on destination Virtuozzo Container using
4. Check number of IPs and its types on source Virtuozzo Container as
2. Set root password on source Virtuozzo Container if it's unknown.
3. Install license on destination Virtuozzo Container using
# /usr/local/psa/bin/license -i <license_file>4. Check number of IPs and its types on source Virtuozzo Container as
select ip_address, type from IP_Addresses;
or
select i.ip_address, p.type from IP_Addresses i inner join ip_pool on i.id = p.ip_address_id;
5. Add required number of IPs on destination Virtuozzo Container.
6. Run
on destination Virtuozzo Container.
7. Set types for IPs on destination Virtuozzo Container as on source Virtuozzo Container using
6. Run
# /usr/local/psa/bin/ipmanage --reread7. Set types for IPs on destination Virtuozzo Container as on source Virtuozzo Container using
# /usr/local/psa/bin/ipmanage -u <IP> -type shared/exclusive
because new IPs added after "--reread" are exclusive by default.
8. Check diskspace on destination Virtuozzo Container comparing to content on source Virtuozzo Container and increase it if necessary.
9. Run migration as:
9. Run migration as:
# ./run_migration.sh <source_IP> root <source_passwd> <VEID> 2>&1 | tee mm.log
USAGE:
You can use it with the following command:
./run_mmigration.sh <destination_VEID> [--save-logs] MMIGRATION_OPTIONS
--save-logs save logs to current directory
--save-logs <dir> save logs to <dir>
MMIGRATION_OPTIONS:
-s <host> source host
-l <login> login, default - root
-p <passwd> password
-P <port> SSH port, default - 22
--per-domain migrate per domain, default - all domains at once
--check check for possible migration issues
--check check for possible migration issues
In short:
./run_mmigration.sh <destination_VEID> [--save-logs [<logs_dir>]] -s <source_server> -p <passwd> [-l <login>]
For example:
./run_mmigration.sh 100 --save-logs -s 192.168.0.100 -p passwordMass Migration Best Practice
