Good morning everyone. I would like to ask about the possibility of migrating 3 servers (WWW, MAIL, and DNS) to a multi-server environment with 7 servers (1x Panel, 2x WWW, 2x Mail, 2x DNS) using the ISPConfig Migration Tool. The current setup consists of 3 separate server instances, where the customer database on the WWW server is different from the one on the MAIL server, and yet another on the DNS server. Is it possible to import databases where customer IDs differ across servers? If this cannot be done using the migration tool, how should I approach this task? Best regards and thank you.
Customers are matched by username, so this should work unless you are using the same username multiple times for different users.
Thank you, Till. From what I’ve noticed in the databases of the migrated servers, several clients are recorded in different ways. I tried migrating the two WWW (client and www tables) and DNS (only dns tables) servers, and the result is that errors appeared, and now nothing can be saved in the new panel. Changes are not propagating to the databases on the WWW, MAIL, and DNS servers.
You can not just copy over records from different ISPConfig databases; the Migration Tool is not using that approach. The Migration tool uses the ISPConfig remote API to import records into the new server.
