move clients between 2 plesk servers

[zozzi]

hello

how to move clients between 2 plesk 8.3 servers without major blackout ?

old plesk server was running on the peak of resources, so we setup a new machine and i'd like to move couple clients to new server

any ideas? how to setup DNS to minimalise domain time off service ? probably dns is most critical, isn't it?

Yes, you need to lower the TTL (which needs time to propagate). When that's done you can use the Plesk Migration Manager.

using plesk migration manager 1 domain can take couple minutes - so is it ok to set TTL for example 60 seconds ?

You could do that. Just know that if the previous TTL was 24 hours you need to wait for 24 hours for this new TTL to propagate completely.
