RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Aruba unattended scheduled upgrade?

[Chuck Enfield]

There's a risk associated with this approach in a multi-controller
environment.  If one of your controllers has an unplanned reboot between
the time you complete your prep and the time of the scheduled reboot you
will have one controller on a different version from the others.  The
likelihood of that happening is probably very low, but it could result in
major service interruption so I don't think it's worth the risk.

I do it through airwave also but I just do the upgrade process normally,
which will make the new code the default 
partition.   Then just schedule a reboot through airwave.  Click on device
reboot and set a time.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Aruba unattended scheduled upgrade?

[Brian Helman]

I agree on the manual upgrades, but there are only 3 of us, so a manual upgrade 
at 2 or 3a means we lose 1/3 of the network people during the day.  I have to 
compromise and have the early guy verify that everything worked ok or kick off 
a rollback.

Thank you for the info.

Hi Brian,

I haven’t seen a firmware upgrade option with scheduling, but you can 
definitely firmware upgrades through Airwave. Upload the firmware to Airwave 
and then on the device itself, pull down Device Actions and then select 
“Upgrade firmware”. The somewhat unclear part I’ve found is that you then have 
to click the big Upgrade button first (scary!) before you can then schedule the 
upgrade time.

That said, we like to do our upgrades manually to watch for issues.

We’re new to the Aruba arena and still learning .. I have to assume there is a 
way to schedule an unattended upgrade of the controllers/AP’s.  What is that 
process?  This way we can schedule the process to kick off at 4a and not have 
to be a part of the process until 5a or so.

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Lee,

Which code train/version?

What was the impact of the bug?

We're looking at doing the same in the near future.

Hi

I’m currently in the process of planning our migration to Cisco 8540s.
Having been managing gear since the ye old days of WLSM, I know I have to scrub 
the heck off my versions just in case some “feature” could cause harm, but 
would like the group’s input on pitfalls, code versions, bugs encountered and 
the like.

Looking forward to hear about your experiences,
