1. Is there any guide on how to "provide those interfaces new names"? Running CentOS 7.9 2. I have elasticsearch-5.x installed, is it necessary to uninstall?

  Hey there! If you wanted to run the ELevate tool, you'd need to remove that software and repository to avoid any interference from the update process. As far as the network card names, it would be best to speak with your hosting provider or datacenter about that. While we do provide the alert notice, we don't manage the network settings inside WHM, and the process of making those changes can vary depending on your hosting plan and environment.

  ElasticSearch is Java and I see here: Not sure if this is a false positive or how it would interfere with the upgrade process.

  I spoke with the team and we are still looking into all the possibilities that could interfere with the update. At this point, the only way to proceed is to remove the software or repositories it mentions to ensure there are no conflicts, as there is not a way to override or bypass that check.

  I got this reply: [QUOTE]There are only a handful of packages there but none of them will affect elasticsearch. Just of note, in both cases, you can likely just enable=0 for both repos, then enable=1 after elevate is completed and do an update to get any packages that might need updating.

  You can do it via ssh:

  ip link set eth0 down
  ip link set eth0 name nic0
  ip link set nic0 up

  mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-{eth0,nic0}

  sed -ire "s/NAME="eth0"/NAME="nic0"/" /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-nic0
  sed -ire "s/DEVICE="eth0"/DEVICE="nic0"/" /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-nic0

  MAC=$(cat /sys/class/net/nic0/address)
  echo -n 'HWADDR="'$MAC" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-nic0

  I would rename the secondary interface (probably eth1?) instead as adjusting the primary could cause you more harm than good :(

  I just made the example for eth0... you can do it with the ethX you want/need. In my case the was no problem changing both to nicX.
