Subscriptions migration takes hours to complete for a single domain on a Plesk server

kb: bug ext: migrator Plesk Obsidian for Linux ABT: Group A

Applicable to:

  • Plesk Obsidian for Linux

Symptoms

  • When performing subscriptions migration, the process takes up to 5 hours to fetch information from a single domain.

  • On opening the migration status by going to Tools & Settings > Migration & Transfer Manager > Host > protocol, the migration process is stuck on "Fetch configuration data from Plesk servers" task and after it finishes it shows the following entries:

    CONFIG_TEXT: 2020-04-15 08:34:06 info START: Fetch information from source panel
    2020-04-15 08:34:06 info START: Fetch configuration data from Plesk servers
    2020-04-15 13:19:14 info FINISH: Fetch configuration data from Plesk servers
    2020-04-15 13:19:23 info START: Fetch information from target servers

Between the START and FINISH tasks of the "Fetch configuration data from Plesk servers", several hours elapsed.

Cause

Product issue:

  • #PPPM-11919 "Sped up the migration of subscriptions to the target server with the same OS and Plesk version as the source by removing unnecessary information from backup.log and the XMl-configuration file when the subscriptions are backed up."

As a workaround:

  1. Login to your source server via SSH
  2. Edit the file /etc/psa/psa.conf
  3. Change the DUMP_D line to an empty folder.
    Where it says:
    DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps
    point to an empty folder:
    DUMP_D /<empty folder>
  4. Revert the change after the migration finishes

This way, the migration process will not perform configuration dumps on the existing backups.
