Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] ArubaOS 8.5.0.7

[Cesar Fernandez]

Aruba has released 8.5.0.8.  TAC is recommending that we skip 8.5.0.7 and
upgrade to this version, which has a fix for the SNMP issue.  We plan on
upgrading next week and we'll provide feedback regarding stability and/or
issues encountered.   If anyone upgrades sooner, please do the same.

Thanks,

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] ArubaOS 8.5.0.7

[Martin Reynolds]

We are currently running 8.5.0.3 code this year andhave been discussing
upgrading to 8.5.0.7.  However, we have been advised to hold off, at least
for now, by our local account team and also from Aruba TAC.  Here is their
response.

On Wed, Apr 1, 2020, 6:14 PM

This to update you to hold on for upgrade to 8.5.0.7.

“We have observed an issue with SNMP incorrectly reporting traps events
related to Access point when upgrading to 8.5.0.7/8.6.0.3.

Aruba is working on an emergency patch for the same and we will have a
formal communication rolled out shortly for all our Customers”

That is correct. In 8.5 and 8.6 we introduced new chipset drivers which each 
added some missing 11ax functionality to our AP-5xx platforms.



8.6 is the release that delivers full 11ax functionality and Wi-Fi 6 compliance 
(all platforms are certified).



In addition, 8.6 is the first release to support the entry-level AP-504/505 
11ax platforms.

AFAIK 8.6 will be the first to support the complete 802.11ax suite.  While 8.5
provides support for the 500-series and their WiFi6 components, they are 
incomplete.

So we'll all eventually be there, for now they're concentrating on getting 8.5 
stable.

[Harms, Onno (Aruba WLAN)]

That is correct. In 8.5 and 8.6 we introduced new chipset drivers which each 
added some missing 11ax functionality to our AP-5xx platforms.

8.6 is the release that delivers full 11ax functionality and Wi-Fi 6 compliance 
(all platforms are certified).

In addition, 8.6 is the first release to support the entry-level AP-504/505 
11ax platforms.

Thanks,

AFAIK 8.6 will be the first to support the complete 802.11ax suite.  While 8.5
provides support for the 500-series and their WiFi6 components, they are 
incomplete.

So we'll all eventually be there, for now they're concentrating on getting 8.5 
stable.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] ArubaOS 8.5.0.7

[Adam Forsyth]

So with 802.11AX turned off on our 515's hoping for maximum stability and
good user experience, it sounds like 8.5 is exactly where we want to be
with hopes that it leads into a new conservative release, and that a
conservative release of 8.6 happens before we have lots of AX clients and
really want to enable their AX capabilities.

 Hi Everyone,

 We are an Aruba wireless shop currently running ArubaOS 8.5.0.1 on an
 Active/Standby MM pair with 4 MD controllers.  Ever since we upgraded to
 the 8.5 code we've encountered several critical issues requiring upgrades,
 and subsequent downgrades, between various 8.5.0.X versions. We have been
 on 8.5.0.1 for the better part of the school year as it has been the most
 stable for our environment.  A couple weeks before the COVID-19 crisis, 3
 of our 4 MD controllers randomly crashed.  TAC is now recommending that we
 upgrade to 8.5.0.7, which was released last week.

 Are there any universities on this list that have recently upgraded to
 8.5.0.7? If so, what has been your experience?

 I understand most campuses are only seeing a fraction of the normal
 wireless traffic load as most students are currently not on campus - so any
 feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Antonio,

Thank you for feedback.  I really hope this version is stable.  The 8.5
code has been quite challenging.  Please let us know if you experience any
major issues.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] ArubaOS 8.5.0.7

[Michael Davis]

When going from 8.5.0.3 to 8.5.0.6 it occurred on 5 AP515s, they didn't come
back online after the (live) upgrade.  When going from 8.5.0.6 to 
8.5.0.7, one

AP515 didn't come back online after the (manual) upgrade.

I worked with TAC on the original 5 and they symptoms were determined, but
no other cure but to console in the APs and manually flip the 
environment variable.

Mike,

Thank you for you reply.  Regarding the end-less loop on 515s - is 
that issue randomly triggered after normal functioning uptime or did 
the issue occur during an upgrade? Also, were any of this APs factory

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] ArubaOS 8.5.0.7

[Cesar Fernandez]

Steve,

Thank you for your feedback.  TAC has informed us that the critical issues
we have encountered ( MDs crashing on 8.5.0.1 and an MD VRRP issue causing
APs to move to their backup LMS on 8.5.0.4) should be fixed on 8.5.0.7.  We
are still reluctant to upgrade because AOS 8.5 has been very buggy.
Without students on campus, I feel we won't experience issues with
limited users.

8.5.0.7 is the landing code for UNC with the bugs that were worked on with

We just upgraded to 8.5.0.7 this past Friday so far so good. We also
experienced two of our MDs crash and we had to take one MD out of the
cluster due to it being unstable. We had been running 8.5.0.5 without
issues, no new MD crashes. Aruba stated the crash was due to a corrupt AMON
packet. I reintroduced the MD that was offline without issues and then
upgrade the cluster to 8.5.0.7.

We have been in 8.5.0.5 for several months now with no immediate issues.  We 
are planning on upgrading our testing cluster to 8.5.0.7 this Wednesday 
morning.  We ran into an issue with 535 APs with two ethernet cables connected 
and AAA enabled on the switch ports causing the radios to shut off.  We are 
about to roll out 800 Aps in this configuration and need this one fixed.

Hi Everyone,

We are an Aruba wireless shop currently running ArubaOS 8.5.0.1 on an 
Active/Standby MM pair with 4 MD controllers.  Ever since we upgraded to the 
8.5 code we've encountered several critical issues requiring upgrades, and 
subsequent downgrades, between various 8.5.0.X versions. We have been on 
8.5.0.1 for the better part of the school year as it has been the most stable 
for our environment.  A couple weeks before the COVID-19 crisis, 3 of our 4 MD

would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] ArubaOS 8.5.0.7

[McClintic, Thomas]

We moved to 8.5.0.6 for about 30 days. Okay so far. We moved for some features 
to 8.5 and 6 was required for a RAP issue we were having for LMS preemption.

We’re considering 8.5.0.7 for some minor bug fixes, but we’ve been on 8.5.0.6 
for about 6 weeks and have no major problems.

Hi Everyone,

We are an Aruba wireless shop currently running ArubaOS 8.5.0.1 on an 
Active/Standby MM pair with 4 MD controllers.  Ever since we upgraded to the 
8.5 code we've encountered several critical issues requiring upgrades, and 
subsequent downgrades, between various 8.5.0.X versions. We have been on 
8.5.0.1 for the better part of the school year as it has been the most stable 
for our environment.  A couple weeks before the COVID-19 crisis, 3 of our 4 MD 
controllers randomly crashed.  TAC is now recommending that we upgrade to 
8.5.0.7, which was released last week.

Are there any universities on this list that have recently upgraded to 8.5.0.7? 
If so, what has been your experience?

I understand most campuses are only seeing a fraction of the normal wireless 
traffic load as most students are currently not on campus - so any feedback 
would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] ArubaOS 8.5.0.7

[Michael Davis]

We're on 8.5.0.7.  So far only one odd issue with SNMP traps exploding 
Airwave (110K

traps during the upgrade) but with no one on campus, testing is limited.

I have a recurring issue (since 8.5.0.6) with AP-515s not flipping their 
boot variable and

getting stuck in an end-less upgrade loop..
