Mapping IP addresses on a server migration

[vikvaliant]

Can someone, anyone, explain in detail the process of mapping IPs on a new server migration? The documentation is kind of sketchy and seems to refer to a migration where the migration manager actually works.

Some examples would be great. Thanks.

I used the details at http://forum.parallels.com/showpost.php?p=357878&postcount=10

Here are the exact details of what I tried.

It worked in the sense that it produced map files that I could edit the IPs.
It didn't work in the sense that the restore said that the dump was corrupt.

Since then, I've trashed PLESK 9 and installed PLESK 8.6. Migration from PLESK 7.5.4 seemed to work very easily through the PLESK GUI [no messy undocumented CLI]. I haven't discovered any problems so far.

Thanks. I think I may have made some headway using the full backup/restore solution. If all goes well I'll post a step-by-step under the "Huge Rant - Plesk Backup and Restore"
