We have upgraded 31 WLCs from 4.2.130.0 to 5.2.193.0, with no
operational issues seen and no problems reported for clients so far.

We have approx 3,500 APs, and the client count is at its lowest level
due to summer session with around 3,000 peak simultaneous clients. We
are installing a number of 1142s, so we needed the new code to support
them.

We *did* encounter a weird AP join issue on some of the WLCs in one of
our mobility groups when there were mixed versions of WLC code while
upgrading WLCs in the same mobility group (some controllers on 4.2 and
others on 5.2). 

The issue was a delayed join to the primary WLC for APs during the
process of upgrading the controller and then waiting for APs to
re-join the upgraded (primary) controller (we configure the
primary/secondary/tertiary WLCs on the APs). We escalated the issue
and Cisco has developed a fix that will presumably ship in newer code.

Meanwhile, we noticed that if we upgraded the first controller in the
mobililty group (the one with the lowest MAC address as seen in "show
mobility summary") to the new controller code first then that seemed
to avoid the issue of having large numbers of delayed AP joins. Given
that, we resumed our upgrades and have almost completed the entire set
of WLCs.
