  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Reconfigurator Error: Invalid Network Adapter Name

flacodirt

New Pleskian
I took an image of a configured Plesk 11 server and deployed the image to a new server (new hardware and IPs).

The goal now is to reconfigure Plesk on the new server to use the new IP addresses.


I open the PP Reconfigurator, and select "Change server IP addresses".

PP Reconfigurator

Select the IP addresses to be changed:

IP Address: 10.0.0.1
Interface: "PrivateNetwork"

[x] Existing address

Select the new IP address:

IP Address: 10.0.0.2
Interface: "PrivateNetwork-Teamed"

I select the first IP, select the Existing address to change it to, Click Next and receive the following error:

Error:

Invalid network adapter name: "PrivateNetwork"

I imagine the issue is that it is trying to change the network card "PrivateNetwork" while that no longer exists on the server. I searched the registry for just "PrivateNetwork" and I dont see any old Plesk entries, so I assume this is in the plesk database somewhere.


The original server was configured with 2 network cards, named PublicNetwork and PrivateNetwork.

Old Server:

PrivateNetwork = 10.0.0.1

PublicNetwork = 192.168.0.1

The new server has Teamed Network Cards, and shows up as the following:

New Server:

PrivateNetwork-A
PrivateNetwork-B
PrivateNetwork-Teamed = 10.0.0.2

PublicNetwork-A
PublicNetwork-B
PublicNetwork-Teamed = 192.168.0.2


How can I reconfigure Plesk IPs on a new server with differently named network cards using the Reconfiguration Tool?

SOLUTION: Actually, just renaming the "PrivateNetwork-Teamed" network card to just "PrivateNetwork" allowed the tool to work.
