Migrarea datelor
You can migrate business objects from other hosting platforms
running on other servers, or use the data import feature for
importing to Plesk the data gathered by migration agent (this
is useful when you are migrating data within a single server).
To migrate data from other hosting platforms, follow the instruction
presented in the Migrating Data from Other Hosting Platforms
section of this help page. To import data, see the Importing
Configuration section of this help page.
Migrating Data from Other Hosting Platforms
To migrate all user accounts, domains, and web sites with applications from other hosting platforms:
- Click the Server shortcut.
- Click the Migration Manager icon in the
Services group.
- Click the Start Migration icon in the Tools
group.
- Leave the Migration radio button selected,
and specify the following options:
- The source host. Specify either the IP address or the host name of the server you wish to migrate.
- The login name and password used for logging in to the remote host you are migrating. You can either use the 'root' login, or use an account with sudo enabled, provided that this account is allowed to run any commands through sudo.
- Make sure that the remote hosting platform is running, and the "iconv" utility is installed in the remote host's operating system.
- Click Next>>. The migration manager
will connect to the specified host and gather information
on the business objects of the remote hosting platform.
- Select the Dump all option in the Migration
mode group.
- If the Migration Manager detected the hosting platform
incorrectly, select the platform from the Source platform
drop-down box.
- If you want to specify data compression options, domain
templates to be applied during migration, or remote host’s
hard drive partitions that should be used for storing temporary
files, click the Advanced tab, and select
the required options.
- Click Next>>.
- Once the data are retrieved from the remote host, specify
the IP address mapping settings and click Migrate.
- Once migration is completed, a detailed report will be
presented on the screen. Click OK to exit
the wizard.
To migrate individual user accounts, domain names and web sites with applications from other hosting platforms:
- Click the Server shortcut.
- Click Migration Manager.
- Click the Start Migration icon in the Tools
group.
- Leave the Migration radio button selected,
and specify the following options:
- The source host. Specify either the IP address or the host name of the server you wish to migrate.
- The login name and password used for logging in to the remote host you are migrating. You can either use the "root" login, or use an account with sudo enabled, provided that this account is allowed to run any commands through sudo.
- Make sure that the remote hosting platform is running, and the "iconv" utility is installed in the remote host's operating system.
- Click Next>>. The migration manager
will connect to the specified host and gather information
on the business objects of the remote hosting platform.
- Select the Select objects that your wish to migrate
from host option.
- If the Migration Manager detected the hosting platform incorrectly,
select the platform from the Source platform
drop-down box.
- If you want to specify data compression options, domain
templates to be applied during migration, or remote host’s
hard drive partitions that should be used for storing temporary
files, click the Advanced tab, and select
the required options.
- Click Next>>.
- Select which objects you wish to migrate to Plesk:
- To migrate user accounts, click the Accounts
tab and specify which accounts should be migrated by selecting
the corresponding check boxes, then click Migrate.
- To migrate domain names, select the Domains
tab and specify which domains should be migrated by selecting
the corresponding check boxes, then click Migrate.
On the next screen, select which user account on the Plesk
server you want to migrate the domains to. Then, click
Migrate.
- Select the IP address on your Plesk host, to which the remote host’s IP addresses should be mapped.
- Click Migrate.
- Once migration is completed, a detailed report will be presented
on the screen. Click OK to exit the wizard.
