Transferring entire cPanel server to another

[Reado]

I have an existing server running CentOS 6.7 and cPanel v56. I need to move all data to a new server running CentOS 7.2 and cPanel v56.

Is there an automated process built into WHM that would allow me to move everything to the new server?

The old server is also the primary name server, and so I would ideally like to keep the existing IP address. Is this possible or would I have to use a different IP address for the new server?

Hello ,

First you will have to install and complete basic cPanel setup on your new server and then you can migrate your all accounts through WHM >> Transfers »Transfer Tool

Also check following cPanel docs : How to Move All cPanel Accounts from One Server to Another - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation

Hello,

As mentioned, the following document is the best guide to follow:

How to Move All cPanel Accounts from One Server to Another - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation

Also, cPanel version 56 introduced some additional service configuration transfer features with the Transfer Tool that you can review at:

Transfer Tool - Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Thank you.
