version will be installed and indicates which disk partition will be used
after the upgrade. If you see such a prompt, answer y.
The system displays several status messages. The last two messages are:

The system displays several status messages and then reboots. After the
the reboot process has been completed, the system starts VCX 7.0.x
services.
5After the system has completed the restart process, verify that the
upgrade has occurred by entering this command:
ls -l /opt/3com/VCX
