1. Can customers using CTA or CTA/VE 7.5 (or earlier) upgrade to version 9.0?  Yes, existing File Management Appliance (FMA and FMA/VE) and Cloud Tiering Appliance (CTA and CTA/VE) customers current on maintenance will be able to download version 9.0 software.  Upgrade steps:  Please refer to the latest “Cloud Tiering Appliance and the Cloud Tiering Appliance/VE Release Notes” for more detail.   2. How can a customer who has been using the physical appliance (CTA or FMA) convert to CTA/VE?   There is a path to move from a physical (FMA or CTA) appliance to virtual. For each physical appliance the customer would like to covert, model CTA-P2V must be ordered. This is a chargeable model and it is not in the configurator but rather must be added to the quote manually. Additionally, CTA/VE implementation services, PS-BAS-FMAVE, must be ordered for every CTA-P2V.
