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.
