I am about to move a cPanel install from a dedicated server to a similarly sized virtual machine on a much beefier server, but I have a few concerns about making such a move during the transition period between v10 and v11.
The current system is based on the RELEASE tree and quotes it's version numbers as "WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.9.0-R10737". For the time being I've turned off automatic updates, until I decide how to proceed. My questions are:
1. If I install cPanel on the new machine, with a newly purchased license, in the next couple of days, will I get v10 or v11?
2. Am I better off waiting until v11 properly hits RELEASE, upgrading the old server, installing v11 on the new VM, then transferring accounts over, OR forcing an early upgrade to v11 on the old server, OR is it safe enough to leave the old arrangement as-is, and just transfer the accounts (ie. will accounts transfer cleanly from v10 to v11?)
2b. In fact, would I be better to rush a new v10 install, transfer the accounts over, and upgrade to v11 later?
I have to do the move in the next week or two. I'm trying to minimise the potential confusion caused by several changes happening at the same time (moving to a VM, moving to new IP ranges with the DNS modifications that this entails, and updating cPanel), which might make diagnosing problems more painful... If it makes mich difference, I plan to run the same base OS (CentOS 4.5) on the new setup as the old.
