We have installed a VM and will be evaluating it as time permits. Unless there are some major "must-have" features though, we will not likely deploy in full Production until after the second GA release.
I am interested in your experiences, though. One new feature is the ability to manage multiple master controllers, even if they run differing versions of ArubaOS (8.0+). Have you tried that feature yet? We currently have 3 non-testing master controllers - Production, Remote (RAP) & LPV. It would be great to centralize management of them.

Hey all, For those of you who haven't been following the early code releases from Aruba, AOS 8 is a major upgrade, to the point where there's no actual upgrade path from AOS 6.x. It's got some pretty slick features, though, for those brave enough to jump in and blow a test environment. We're dipping our toes in here, working very closely with Aruba support. We've had some wrinkles to work out, as expected in any x.0.0 release, though so far the resources we've been given have been right on top of them. So my question is, has anyone else tried out the 8.0 code on any decently sized production scale, and if so, how's it worked out? (Alternatively, for those who haven't tried it at all, I'd be happy to answer any questions I can from my limited deployment so far.) thanks everyone!
