I’m following these steps:

yum update -y
reboot
curl https://repo.almalinux.org/elevate/testing/elevate-testing.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/elevate-testing.repo
rpm --import https://repo.almalinux.org/elevate/RPM-GPG-KEY-ELevate
yum install -y leapp-upgrade leapp-data-almalinux
leapp preupgrade

I was disabled SELinux and disabled the firewalld ZoneDrifting

Thanks

3rd party repo’s are not supported.

also you don’t need to use elevate-testing anymore, just use the regular guide:

Thank you for your reply. Is there any other upgradation process for the servers with cPanel or is it possible to upgrade without repo ‘cpanel-addons-production-feed’? Any Idea?

With the caveat that I am not a cPanel user, I would suggest disabling the third party repos, upgrading, then enable them (targeting EL9), and do a dnf distro-sync, and that should bring your 3rd party stuff up to the EL9 versions.
