Issues Migration from Plesk 9.6 to Plesk 11

[nplink]

I did extensive search and followed number of suggestion for the migration of domains from Plesk 9.5 to 11. I didn't have a single breathrough.

I am not sure whether Plesk 11 can transfer sites from Plesk 9.5, however here are the steps I followed

1. I switched off the firewall at both server.
2. I ran Plesk Migration Agent for Plesk 9.5 in windows server where plesk 9.5 is installed (source host).
3. I checked whether i can access the SMB or File sharing.. \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\c$ , with given Admin / pass I can see source C drive from target Plesk (where I installed plesk 11)
4. I intiated the migration but I received

Error: Connection to host is not available or migration agent is not running on the source host

Here are the logs

[IgorG]

Have you tried recommendations from http://kb.parallels.com/1432 ?

 

[nplink]

I did follow the KB you had mention in your reply. ( http://kb.parallels.com/1432 )

Since, Both the firewall is switched off. I have no issue in accessing all these ports without issue.

For PMM:
TCP 6489 (by default or other custom)

For data transferring on Windows source servers:
TCP 135
TCP 139
TCP 445
UDP 137
UDP 138

For data transferring on Linux source server:
TCP: 22



The server's network settings "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" is present. Also to ensure the shared drive can be accessed, I checked whether i can access the SMB or File sharing.. \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\c$ , with given Admin / pass I can see source C drive from target Plesk (where I installed plesk 11) "

As per the KB, I am made sure the "Server" service is running on the source server.

To ensure further, I checked all the ports via manual telnet, and they are accessible from the target plesk to source plesk, I did a telnet on each port from the target plesk to source plesk. All can be accessed.

Not sure, what went wrong, what logs I can share with you to get at least some hints of the root cause.

I greatly appreciate any input!

Are you sure that Migration Agent is installed on both servers?

 

[nplink]

Yes I installed Agent in both server. Plesk 9.5 agent in source server and Plesk 11 agent in Target server.

 

[IgorG]

Plesk Migration Manager checks the hostname of the source and destination server. Hostname is used for migration.
If both servers has identical hostname, migration is not possible. Make sure that server hostnames are different.

 

[nplink]

Both (source and destination)server has unique hostname. we checked it from both CMD and Server Manager.
