[cisco-voip] Error upgrade UCS server to ESXi 6.7

[Jonathan Charles]

Yep, that was it.... I googled Cisco Vmware esx 6.7 from a jump box in the
EU and it took me to the 948548 build (I just assumed it would take me to
the same or a newer build than it did in North America... who knew???)... I
just upgraded the host using the  17700523 build and it was fine...

Thanks for the help!
