The /mnt/SAPCD is NFS mount point and was used as location to store all the software dumps. Accessing this NFS mount point is giving problems and 'df -h' command hangs and have to end it manually by pressing Ctrl+c command. That was the reason why moved software dump to /hana/data a local file system for performing the XSA upgrade. But, still experience the same issue and the upgrade hangs at Initial content package extraction phase.
