Migrate from 8.6

[Shawn M]

When I tried migrating from 8.6 I got this error:

Error: launchpad error (Error code = 2):
== STDERR ====================
Can't create agent directory /migration/20091016074434618/ on the remote host: sh: line 0: cd: /migration/20091016074434618/: No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory `/migration': Permission denied

==============================

Hello,

Please clarify if you are using root credentials when you are migrating from the old server.

Hi,

Looks like the user you use for migration does not have enough priviledges on the remove machine.
Try using "root" for migration. You may need to temporarily allow remote root login in the ssh config if it is disabled (/etc/ssh/sshd_config, "PermitRootLogin" parameter).

Hello,

Make sure that you set the root credentials of the source server at the following step of the migration:

Home > Migration Manager > Start New Migration > Transfer data from another server option > login and password of Administrator/power user of the source server

It looks like there are not enough rights to create the necessary directory for the user you have specified.

Thank you

Hello

Are you starting migration from user "root"? Seems the user you are logging in under does not have permisison to create directories on the source server. Try to login through ssh on the source server under the same user as you use for migration, and try to create directory there. Or, there could be lack of disk space on the source server. You need to check it as well.
