We’re not on 8.x yet, but we’ve ton a lot of research. Here’s what I understand (correct me if I’m wrong);
You can only use airmatch when there is a MM present Arm and airmatch are not an either/or choice, arm will still do the job it normally does in real time, while airmatch will pool that data daily and make recommendations that will effect arm settings and thresholds (“raise this lower limit, lower this higher limit, allow these 2.4 radios to turn off” etc..). Last I heard, airmatch doesn’t actually make changes unless you approve them, that’s a roadmap choice where you can allow it ranges of change and you’ll get a report daily. Good luck!

Looking at a Summer upgrade to MM from 6.5.3.x. I have inquired about moving from ARM to Airmatch for intermittent rogue events. An optimized RF plan that's pushed out off-hours is a nice improvement over the limited ARM individual AP reactive options. But, I can't get details on how Airmatch addresses anomalies immediately. Are there any variables involved in an immediate radio config change other than DFS radar detection. Moving to high density and dedicated APs per classroom has helped alleviate many problems. I'm assuming using MM with Airmatch is preferred over ARM, generally speaking, but in real world situations, how does it address intermittent issues that move around Campus as they occur each day. Overall, I'm very pleased with 6.5.x.x and AP-3xx. Especially the re-designed AP-27x series.

HPE/Aruba is telling us that model is supported (confirmed in the ArubaOS 8.2.0.0 release notes) and they are not aware of any issues. However, I heard from an Aruba reseller that a number of their customers, both commercial and higher ed, had significant issues when they upgraded to 8.X and moved to the mobility master architecture. We purchased the MM license and want to make the jump to 8.2.1.1 from 6.5.3.4 this summer, but are hesitant given the rumor. Have any of you experienced problems with AP-115s and Mobility Master?
