Migration all server

[iboeris]

Hi,
i need to migrate all sites form the old server to a new server.

The last time i have used the migration manager from the Plesk Control Panel but we have wait 6 hours befor the end of the process.
The migration has work fine but it was to Slow.
How can i do it faster?

Thanks

To analyze this we should know such answers:

How long a backup phase have worked?
How long a restore phase have worked?
How many domains/account/mailnames/webusers/maillist/databases do you migrate?
What is the size of the backup (content), ( hosting, mail, databases )?

You could migrate by one accounts/domain. I am not sure that this will be faster, bu you could move your data by parts.

I have not see when the Migration finish to make the bakup and start the Restore.
In this server i have:
212 domains
10 clients
621 Mailnames
0 MailingList
1 Web User
73 Mysql's databases

Total Size of Backup 5,3Gb.

Is better make a backup in the old server and Restore in a New Server?

Thank you for information.

The migration will migrate only client/domain settings. And it has GUI. It move dump files using ssh (which can be slow on the large data)

The backup/restore amke the same, bu can restore a server settings also, and have no any GUI.

The work speed of migration and backup/restore is the same excluding the transport (move dump) expenses.

Ok, Thanks for the answer.
In the last migration i has a problem with the Db Charset.
All the old Db Mysql has Latin_swedish but after the migration has Utf8.
How can resolve this problem in a future migration?

Thanks

 

[OZyryanov]

The Plesk by default creates its database in utf8 .

The migration will be ok in 8.6, but the database will have utf8 charset after migration.

 

[iboeris]

How can i change the default Charset? Maybe by restore the Backup?
Thanks for your answer

 

[OZyryanov]

You could use http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/alter-database.html

ALTER DATABASE DEFAULT CHARACTER SET = Latin_swedish

using mysql cli utility or Db webadmin in Plesk (select database you want to alter).

I have used the migration manager for over 5,000 clients and domains and never had any issues with it unless a user had a database on a centralized database server (non local) then it gave a few error messages but there really was no error. I would suggest trying that first becuase its easier.

Thanks to all. I will inform you after the migration.
Thanks

Looks like you sourse server has a problem with domain Administrator Permission`s.

Please, change at page Domains -> Select Domain -> Domain Administrator -> Permissions: User interface option (for each domain that has not migrated ).

Alternatively you could use migration in import mode, modify dump created and then migrate.

Thanks.
