Q: How to upgrade 7000 series controllers through USB ?
A: Controller will look for a particular folder (Arubaimage) in USB for code upgrade. Hence create a folder called "Arubaimage" in USB and copy AOS image into that folder
After we insert the USB to the controller we can use the below commands to verify the connection
(Aruba7005) #show usb
USB Device Table

We can use the below command to upgrade the image .Please note that we need to mention the USB slot/partition which can be verified using "show storage" command
(Aruba7005) #copy usb: partition ?
<part> Enter the slot:partition number of external USB for
copy,default slot 0
(Aruba7005) #copy usb: partition 1 ArubaOS_70xx_6.4.2.10_50952 system: partition 0
Upgrading partition 0
........................................................................................................................
File ArubaOS_70xx_6.4.2.10_50952 copied to partition 0 successfully.
The system will boot from partition 0 during the next reboot.
