I wasn't able to successfully upgrade the box.  It does, however, have a replaced hard drive.   The hard drive shipped from Cisco was 512GB, which wasn't a problem for rebuilding an array from a smaller drive, but might have caused issues during the RU.  I'm going to update TAC with this information and see what process the software RAID takes.  The replaced drive happens to be the first hard drive, so it may try to create the RAID off that size and fail.  Thanks for pointing me in a different direction.

FWIW, I'll be trying this upgrade again internally and let you know how that goes.
