    Hi Naveen, 

    You would have to offload the data, and then reload the OS to the new version then reload the data. Here is our Cloud Docs to explain how to reload the OS in this case. https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/virtual-servers?topic=virtual-servers-reloading-the-os

    If you still have issues, please do contact our IBM Cloud support team. https://cloud.ibm.com/unifiedsupport/supportcenter

    Thanks!
