3. Upgrade Instructions
IMPORTANT: Make sure you upgrade all installed components when upgrading to Parallels Plesk Panel 9.2.1. This is required to avoid conflicts caused by outdated components.
IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading Parallels Plesk Panel on a intensively used hardware node, it is strongly recommended to use the following PVC parameters for the upgrade:
vprvmem (virtual memory) - 700
numproc (number of processes) - 100
After the upgrade is finished, these parameters should be set to their old values.
If you have Plesk version earlier than 8.1.x installed on your machine, you need to upgrade it to Plesk 7.6.1 first, migrating all data, upgrade it to Plesk 8.1, and then run the Parallels Plesk Panel 9.2.1 installer. Refer to Plesk 8.1 Release Notes for additional information if you want to upgrade your Sitebuilder delivered with Plesk 7.6.1.
If your machine has Plesk 8.1.x, 8.2.x, 8.3.x, 8.4.x or 8.6.x installed, you will be prompted to upgrade existing Plesk installation to Parallels Plesk Panel 9.2.1 after running the installer.
Parallels Plesk Panel 9.2.1 for Windows includes Sitebuilder 4.5 in the distribution package, but your Sitebuilder 2.x or 3.x installation will not be upgraded automatically. If you want to upgrade your Sitebuilder installation, add the following key to the command line of EXE installer when installing Parallels Plesk Panel 9.2.1: WSB_UPGRADE=force
