Wireless Access

I have a pair of VMM configured with vrrp. I have two managed virtual controllers. They are all runnig same AOS 8.6. There is no connectivity issue between them. 

However, the VMCs are in CONFIG ROLLBACK state. I have tried many things including reboot but it did not help. Is there a command or  option in GUI where I can find the exact reason for this state? I have also noticed that after I make a config change/update, the VMCs show down for few minutes and then they come back up online. 

ANy help would be appeciated.

Once you provision a VMC with an ip address, it is not supposed to change and there is not supposed to be any interruption between the VMC and the VMM.  If you push a change from the VMM to the VMC that causes an interruption, where the VMC cannot reach the VMC, thatis when a config rollback is triggered.  You should not make a change that will interrupt connectivity.

Thanks. But what to do if it is in already CONFIG ROLLBACK state. There seems to be no communication problem between VMMs and VMCs as they can reach each other and are on the same layer 2 network. How do I find which config exactly is causing the problem?

Try "show configuration failure" and "show configuration replace history"

I tried both these commands but there was no output.

I think due to this issue I am not able to successfully provision an AP. It is a new setup. The AP is showing UP but it has the flag U2rG.

You have to things wrong, then. The G flag means that the AP is an a group that is not defined.
