Upgrading and downgrading SteelHead-c models
To upgrade a SteelHead-c virtual appliance to a model that does not require a higher-capacity virtual machine, simply purchase a license for the new SteelHead-c model. Downgrading a SteelHead-c model is as simple as downgrading the license to that of a lower-end model. The SteelHead-c detects any change in the license associated with it when it communicates with the Riverbed Cloud Portal.
Note: To upgrade a CCX 3070H or lesser model SteelHead-c to a CCX 5070 model, you must terminate the appliance and redeploy it using the procedure described in this section.
To upgrade a SteelHead-c virtual appliance to a model that requires a higher-capacity virtual machine:
1. Purchase a license for the new SteelHead-c model.
2. Deprovision the original SteelHead-c virtual appliance and its underlying virtual machine.
3. Provision a new virtual machine that meets the requirements of the new SteelHead-c model.
4. Obtain the image for the new SteelHead-c model and install it on the virtual machine.
Downgrading a SteelHead-c model is as simple as downgrading the license to that of a lower-end model.
