The cloning utility is used to prepare Plesk for cloning to a different virtual machine. As some Plesk parameters have to be unique for each new instance of Plesk (for example, IP pool, SSL/TLS certificates, and so on), you should reset these parameters before cloning. This may be done with the cloning utility. The utility resets the following items:
> The IP pool.
> Plesk GUIDs.
> The administrator's password.
> SSL/TLS certificates (only the default certificate, cloning does not change user-defined certificates).
> The license key.
The utility can also be run on the clone Plesk in order to turn off automatic updates.
Usage
cloning <command> [
<option_1> [<param>]
[<option_2> [<param>]]
]
Example
The following command resets all initialization settings and remove the license key on the next start:
plesk bin cloning -u -prepare-public-image true -reset-license true
