That’s the one. Have you reported it to them? I didn’t pull the word rare out of thin air... That’s what I’ve been told and that it affected roughly 0.0001% of deployed 515s. I guess I’m just being naive. Thanks for waking me up! Regards, Keith M: (803) 464-2397 O: (919) 962-6564 Sent from my

We upgraded from ArubaOS 8.5.0.9 to 8.6.0.6 last Sunday (12/13). No major issues so far. We have 6500+ APs (135s, 2xx, 3xx, and AP-5xx). Only one AP didn’t come back on its own but it only required a power cycle. It did take a while though. Seemed like longer than previous upgrades. Plan

We went from 8.3.0.13>8.5.0.11 this week and (knock on wood), no issues so far. (Controllers - Running VMM, 7280s.) Of roughly 7,250 aps (mostly 315,365,367 and 303H), we had to power cycle/nudge a total of 3. The 303h’s taking a while is normal experience (even as CAP) for us. This was our

That's what I was thinking too. But we would have to have a spare controller for that to work :) Maybe Aruba should give us a free license for a virtual controller for our troubles. --Dan On Fri, Dec 18, 2020 at 12:04 PM Michael Davis wrote: > I believe the only way would be to downgrade a

We upgraded to 8.6.0.6 this past Sunday, no issues. All ~6600 APs came back, not a single one dead. Usually we have about a dozen that need to be replaced. Only been running a week and we haven’t seen any issues thus far. We have a wide variety of AP models, 204s, 205Hs, 214s, 215s, 224s, 225s,

We also are not using clustering. Our initial roll out was a clustered, however, after experiencing a “very rare” STM memory leak that heavily affected users in clusters with an odd number of controllers, we moved away from that. Chris From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Community Group

I believe the only way would be to downgrade a lab controller to the old version and use DHCP options to tell the looping AP to connect to that downgraded controller.  From there a remote factory reset and DHCP options pointing back to the new version.. Easy Peasy ;) On 12/18/20 10:32 AM,

Yep, we have an AP-205h that failed to upgrade. I think it was from 8.7.0.0 to 8.7.1.0 this fall. That AP is in quarantine space and is still broken as none of us are willing to go replace it yet. Luckily there was enough coverage from neighboring AP's, but it is less than ideal for sure. If

There’s no way that I’m aware of to fix the issue if it’s already occurring. You cannot telnet into the AP remotely because the AP doesn’t have a config that could enable telnet so you must console into the AP to get access to the APboot environment and then change the os_partition to whatever

I reported to them last Fall and was working with a tier 2 or 3 engineer on the issue, but the only resolve was to console in and change the boot partition flag manually. Since that was a work around and I ran out of example failed APs to test, the case was closed with the workaround. On
