C. Mount the new .iso to the VM drive
Before mounting an ICE OS VM's .iso file, ensure the version number you are installing ends is a higher value than the version you are upgrading. ICE OS .iso files are numbered concurrently allowing easy verification. Just compare the last set of digits after the dash. (-5733, for example).
Important: Never mount an ICE OS .iso version with a lower value than the existing .iso.
