Hello,

In Security Advisor in whm  I get message:

The system detected the following issues which would prevent cPanel ELevate from upgrading the system to AlmaLinux 9:

    One or more EasyApache 4 package(s) are not compatible with AlmaLinux 9. Please remove these packages before continuing the update. - ea-php72 - ea-php72-pear - ea-php72-php-cli - ea-php72-php-common - ea-php72-php-curl - ea-php72-php-devel - ea-php72-php-fileinfo - ea-php72-php-ftp - ea-php72-php-gd - ea-php72-php-iconv - ea-php72-php-intl - ea-php72-php-litespeed - ea-php72-php-mbstring - ea-php72-php-mysqlnd - ea-php72-php-opcache - ea-php72-php-pdo - ea-php72-php-posix - ea-php72-php-soap - ea-php72-php-xml - ea-php72-php-xmlrpc - ea-php72-php-zip - ea-php72-runtime - ea-ruby27-libuv - ea-ruby27-mod-passenger - ea-ruby27-ruby - ea-ruby27-ruby-devel - ea-ruby27-ruby-irb - ea-ruby27-ruby-libs - ea-ruby27-ruby-wrapper - ea-ruby27-rubygem-bigdecimal - ea-ruby27-rubygem-did-you-mean - ea-ruby27-rubygem-io-console - ea-ruby27-rubygem-json - ea-ruby27-rubygem-openssl - ea-ruby27-rubygem-passenger - ea-ruby27-rubygem-psych - ea-ruby27-rubygem-rack - ea-ruby27-rubygem-rdoc - ea-ruby27-rubygems
    The grub2-pc package is not installed. The GRUB2 boot loader is required to upgrade via leapp. If you need assistance, open a ticket with cPanel Support, as outlined here https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/technical-support-services/how-to-open-a-technical-support-ticket/
    The GRUB2 config file is missing. If you need assistance, open a ticket with cPanel Support, as outlined here https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/technical-support-services/how-to-open-a-technical-support-ticket/ 

Also there is message in Security Advisor

It may be possible to upgrade the operating system on your server to a newer major release without migrating to a new server.

Consider testing the cPanel ELevate utility to upgrade the operating system to AlmaLinux 9 before the current system reaches End of Life. For more information, see the utility’s website. 



I have now installed OS version Alma Linux 8.

What does this message mean, will the OS be upgraded to Alma Linux 9?

In file cpupdate.conf :

more /etc/cpupdate.conf
CPANEL=stable
RPMUP=daily
SARULESUP=daily
STAGING_DIR=/usr/local/cpanel
UPDATES=manual

Best regards,
Elizabeta

    Hey hey!  This is just letting you know that if you were to run the ELevate tool to upgrade the system to AlmaLinux 9, you wouldn't be able to use PHP 7.2 as it's not supported by the new operating system, so it would have to be removed first.

    But no, cPanel will *never* attempt to automatically upgrade the server to a new operating system.
