Cloning: Server Cloning Settings

Posted: March 26th, 2018

 

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
