Migration and Transfer Manager: very slow

tkalfaoglu

Silver Pleskian
I'm moving domains from a fairly idle (load average < 2) PLESK 10 server, to an empty PLESK 12 server (load average < 0.5).
I used the Plesk 12 gui, went into migration and transfer manager, chose selective, and selected a client with 23 domains - none of those are very big ( < 100MB each)
It has taken 30 minutes to go from 0% progress to 100% progress.
It's now at 100%, for almost 3 hours now.
When I click on the migration, says "deploying xxxxxx.com" , which gradually changes from xxxxx yyyyy, about every 30 minutes.

I'm scared; I still have 500 domains to move. How can I speed this molasses up?
 
When it finally finished, I started a new one, this time 23 domains.
So far it's been "running" for over 4 hours. With the machine sitting idle...
Is there anything I can do? HELP!
 
I thought perhaps the network was an issue.. although the two servers are on the same gigabit LAN (!)..

So I ran PleskX.pl --dumpall on the old server and put the entire resulting directory (yes including hidden files+dirs like .discovered) onto the new plesk 12 server. Went into the Migration & Transfer manager in GUI, specified the directory where the files are, and firefox told me that "the page is redirecting improperly" and when I clicked on the Home icon, I found this error message on top:
Error: Unable to convert local dump: Dump does not exist in repository

Why is it unable to find the dump?
