• Both the source and destination servers must be managed by a Master Server.
• Both servers must use the same hypervisor type (KVM, Xen, etc.).

Step-by-Step Guide to Migrate VPS on Virtualizor

• Login to the Virtualizor Master Server – Access the panel using your admin credentials.
• Navigate to Migration Section – From the left-hand menu, go to Virtual Server > Migrate VPS.
• Select Source and VPS  – Choose the source server from the “From Server” dropdown.
  Then select the desired VPS that you want to migrate.
• Select Destination Server – Choose the destination node from the “To Server” dropdown.
  Once selected, several important options will appear:

VPS Migration Options in Virtualizor

• Select Storage
  Pick the destination storage where the VPS data will be stored.
• Live Migration
  Enable this only if both servers are running KVM hypervisors. This allows zero-downtime migration.
• Preserve the same IP Address(s)
  Tick this box if you want the VPS to keep its original IP.
  Note: If left unchecked, the VPS will get a new IP from the destination server.
• Delete the Source VPS
  Enable this if you want the source VPS to be automatically deleted after the migration completes.
• Ignore Domain Forwarding Conflict(s)
  Check this to bypass conflicts related to HAProxy domain forwarding on the destination server.
• Speed Limit for transferring VPS(s) data (in Mbps)
  Optional: Limit the data transfer rate during migration.
• Disable Compression
  Avoid using this if you’re migrating large VPSs over slower networks.
  For small VPSs and fast networks, enabling this may speed things up.

Note: Some features like IP address and available storage will only appear after selecting the VPS and destination server.

Final Checks

Once all options are configured, proceed with the migration. Monitor the process to ensure that the transfer completes without interruption. Once done, verify the VPS on the new server, check IP binding, services, and data consistency.
