This might sound obvious now but it wasn't to me before I looked at what is going on, closely. While there is something like 'active' port but there's no such state as being 'inactive'.</font></div><div class="gmail_quote"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_quote"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">This led me to a further research and I came across this in the migration guide:</font></div><div class="gmail_quote"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_quote"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">"Though it is now quite well-tested, the restore_ports script may fail in some cases.
