MR3 isn't generally available. You need to call and ask and justify
need for it.
I called, asked, was told "wait for 8 it's coming soon." It came, but
we can't go to it because of the version of ncs we're running.
If anyone from Cisco is listening, those of using using prime 1.4 and
7.6 mr2 would like to go to 8 soon, please. :-)

that to you?

I'm running 7.6.120.12 engineering build on 5508 - We're just about
done swapping all of our AP's to the 3700 series, and with students
back, they've been rock solid. Hundreds of 802.11ac clients running
around, and 802.11n performance is far better vs the 1252 series we
replaced.
There was a problem in 7.6.120.0 with webauth - that was fixed in
7.6.120.6, but introduced another webauth CPU hog issue. That was this
resolved in 7.6.10.12. Not sure if 7.6MR3 includes the webauth CPU
issue fix or not, thus I'm going to stick with the engineering release
for now.

We had 7.6.120.0 on a 5508 controller that we stood up specifically
for new 3700's we put in a building we rewired which failed miserably
with our webauth network. TAC gave us an engineering build of
7.6.122.9 which resolved that issue, then our eduroam network started
having issues keeping clients connected with Client Band Select
enabled. Fortunately, the old APs were just disabled while we were
rolling this out.
I installed 7.6MR3 on the 5508, which resolved the band select issue
in my test AP I stood up, but I'm leaving the 3700's in the
aforementioned building turned off until we get through the first two
weeks of our semester start.
Also, food for thought. According to our TAC engineer, 5508's and
WiSM-2's use the exact same code. As I'm told, validating using a 5508
WLC should mimic exactly that of production WiSM-2's.
Cheers.

There are a quite a few bugs with that release. I experienced a
few of them that caused high cpu and controller crash and they
were webauth related. I would recommend 7.6mr3 and not 8.0 unless
you have specific need for the newer features it has in it. I’m
running 7.6mr3 on 5508’s and 2504’s and have some HA pairs and so
far it seems to be pretty stable.

Is anyone seeing controller crashes on 7.6.120.0 with a high load?
We upgrade to 7.6.120.0 in May, but haven’t had a real load (over
5,000 clients, say) until this past two weeks.
We had “something” happen on Friday. We did do a “therapeutic
reboot” on Saturday morning (at oh my God it’s 3:30 in the
morning!). However, today it repeated. While investigating, we
discovered the primary in one of the clusters apparently failed
and went into maintenance mode. However, the active “secondary”
still showed standby hot, so we did a failover – which caused an
outage (uh oh). While consoled in, we got the maintenance moded
primary back up, and was bringing the secondary back up, when we
found this:

Dumping a core. This can take a few minutes...
Controller crashed ....Queue Woken up jiffies = 4295262648
Obviously, that is bad (and yes, we’re opening a TAC case).
tl;dr
Has anyone else seen oddities with crashes on 7.6.120.0, and if
so, did you upgrade? To 7.6.130.0, or 8.0.100.0? I’m running
8.0.100.0 in the lab, but light load. (which is what we did on
7.6.120.0 since May)…
Thoughts? Opinions?
