PRE-UPGRADE TASKS:

1. Check the IOS version running on device currently. If necessry image is running, skip further steps

2. Assuming ios need to be upgraded, check if necessary image is already there in flash or not

3. If image is not present, check if sufficient space is available

4. Initiate copying of ios image

5. Ensure image has been successfully copied and do MD5 verification

6. Set boot statement

7. write to memory

IOS UPGRADE TASK:

1. Ensure boot statement is set

2. take backup
