Unable to elevate from centos 7 to alma linux

I am trying to elevate one of my servers, so I ran the script after running yum update to make sure the OS was up to date as stated in the document to check for any elevation blockers and fixed whatever the blockers were, but when I went to start the elevation process I received the below message and the elevation process exited. I tried to rerun the process and receive the message that An elevation process is currently in progress: running stage 1, but it's not really running. Error that caused the elevate process to stop 2023-10-16 03:39:52 (1618) [^[[31mERROR^[[0m] yum appears to be unstable.

Hey there! From your server, can you run the following command and download the file from the mirror? curl

It could have been the time of night I was doing the update and maybe there was some maintenance, but how do I clear it from thinking it is still on stage 1 and get it to start over? Btw yum update did not kick off any errors.

If you try "/scripts/elevate-cpanel --start" does it complain about being on stage 1 still?

Yes it does, I posted that above when I brokw down the log information and posted the responses from different commands.

You can start a new run with "/scripts/elevate-cpanel --clean" and it will re-check everything while starting over. Try that and see if that gets you more progress.

Ok thanks, I did not know that. I will try that a little later.

I just wanted to let you know that I successfully completed an elevate of centos to Almalinux and I found out that I probably could have continued the process when it originally failed by doing /scripts/elevate-cpanel --continue, but thank you for the help that was provided.

I'm glad it's working well now!
