Problems Upgrading from Centos7 to Almalinux8
We have a number of servers that we are upgrading to Almalinux8. The first 2 have gone successfully, but the third one (which is set up near identically to the previous 2) won't work. When we run the pre-upgrade check we get the following blocker:
[WARN] *** Elevation Blocker detected: *** Your machine has multiple network interface cards (NICs) using kernel-names (ethX). Since the upgrade process cannot guarantee their stability after upgrade, you cannot upgrade. Please provide those interfaces new names before continuing the update.
However, as far as I can see, this is not true. When I run ifconfig I get:
# ifconfig | grep eth[0-9]
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
No second interface shows. Any idea what is going on here, and what we can do about it?

Hello,
Could you try running the following and supplying the output:ls -al /sys/class/net
and
/sbin/ip addr
Feel free to mask the actual IP addresses.

Really appreciate your help. The result is:
# ls -al /sys/class/net

Hello,
You can usually use the same /sbin/ip command to delete a device. I see they are already marked as being DOWN.
Reviewing the man page for ip, it seems you can use:
/sbin/ip link delete eth1
If that's successful, you can then do the same for eth2 through eth4.
DO NOT DO THIS FOR eth0 (obviously).
If you have issues, you will need to consult with your system or network administrator.

I tried this but it responds with:
# /sbin/ip link delete eth1
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supportedAny ideas? Is this something we need the people we purchased the VPS from to solve?

Hello,
Yes, I would contact them and inquire how they set up their network. This is not something cPanel can assist with unfortunately.0 -
Thanks, I will do. Really do appreciate your help with this.

ANZEEQ - you wouldn't be able to install PHP 5 on AlmaLinux 8, so that error is expected. It would probably be best to update the PHP version on your local install, confirm that works well, and then run ELevate.
