HELM 3 to Plesk 11

[Gremlin@]

Does anyone know if the following configuration is capable of being migrated to Plesk 11 ? if not, does anyone have any ideas on how it could be achieved ?

4 x Web Servers
2 x MSSQL Servers
1 x MySQL Server
1 x Mail Server (Mailenable) also running as the HELM3 Control Server + DNS

TIA.

Hi

Thanks for these posts. I found them really helpful. I was supposed to ask a few questions but after reading this thread, I got most of it answered.

I take it no-one has attempted this type of migration before then ?

Sorry, but currently only single server migration from Helm 3 to Plesk is supported.
We have plans for implementing migration from multiserver Helm 4 to Parallels Plesk Automation, but I haven't any ETA.

The migration notes seem to imply that multi server is possible, I also seem to recall Blake saying that a migration path from HELM 3 to Plesk Automation would come before a HELM 4 path, I can't seem to find any posts though now from the old HELM forums, have they been removed ?

http://forums.webhostautomation.com/forum.php - I'm sure there used to be an announcements forum and there were some useful posts there, but it seems to have disappeared.

According to the following KB Article http://kb.parallels.com/en/112608 It is possible to migrate from a multi-server HELM3 to a single Plesk server (which we can live with), could someone from Parallels please confirm this does work.

Release notes
Changes from Helm 3 to Plesk 10.3 migration agent :
1. Supported multi-server Helm 3 configurations
Multi-server configurations are migrated into a single server Plesk installation.

Have you tried this type of migration?

Have you tried this type of migration?

Before I spend money organising servers and buying licenses etc I was sort of hoping someone at Parallels would be able to tell me if it will work.

Have you tried to get free migration assistance here? http://www.parallels.com/support/plesk/free11assistance_toc/

I'm just looking for someone to confirm it will work, the question is

Can I take a multi server HELM3 installation (configuration as detailed in my first post), and migrate this to multiple single server plesk 11 installations.

I know this thread is old. but i've done this a good few times for different hosts and it works.

You'll need to change everyone to ASP.net 2 in HELMDB before moving to an OS that does not support .net 1 otherwise those accounts get skipped.
