Controllerless Networks

Day started out normally untill I upgraded the firmware on my 4 iAP's using virtual controller.

3 iap205's and 1 iap105

iap105 never came back up

Factory reset unit on it's own seperate network and let it update itself fine.

Still could not join the mixed ap environment.

Took unit to another site and until powered up and joined this network fine?

See Below slice of log file

Thanks in advance.

What did you update it to?

Hi,

I would try the following commands to gather some info:

- show log system

- show log debug

- show election

- show swarm mode

- show swarm state

- show upgrade info

- show log kernel

To see if we can find more information

This firmware is almost 3 years old.

ArubaOS Version 6.2.1.0-3.4.0.1 (build 39461 / label #39461)

Built by p4build@crete on 2013-08-15 at 19:25:52 PDT (gcc version 4.3.3)

Are you saying that you cannot even upgrade it?  You should...

Please guide me to the proper upgrade files

I cannot finfd them manually

I should add that I am able to setup the unit fine on a new network.

It's only when I try and add it to the existing cluster does it fail

IAP 105 firmware level : 6.2.1.0-3.4.0.1._39461

Cluster firmware : 6.5.4.6_63925

The ip105 says it has the latest firmware?

Please try to update it manually using the firmware here: http://support.arubanetworks.com/LifetimeWarrantySoftware/tabid/121/DMXModule/661/EntryId/20374/Default.aspx

That firmware is probably so old, that it cannot upgrade with the cloud.

Update:

According to the 6.5.0.0 release notes:

http://support.arubanetworks.com/LifetimeWarrantySoftware/tabid/121/DMXModule/661/Command/Core_Download/Default.aspx?EntryId=24557

The IAP-105 is not supported past 6.4.4.4-4.2.3.2.

UGH is all I can say..

iap105 upgraded to 6.4.4.8.4.2.4.10_62611

Now it boots fine, identifies itself as a slave, sends out it's request to the master....and never hears back.

I assume it will never get to a level to re-join the rest of my iap units at 63925

I wish I had never pushed that upgrade button yesterday, now I have one whole segment of my world down.

So, the rest of your cluster also has to be on 6.4.x.x or below or the IAP-105 won't be able to join.  What are you trying to do?

Just trying to get my world back the way it was yesterday when I had 5 working iap units

2 iap 105

3 iap 205 units

They were all working fine and humming along with out of date firmware.

I hit the system update and now 2 iap105's are as good as bricks to me.

Only myself to blame...I get that...just frustrating

Any idea what version of firmware it was on before?

Not when we started but everything was working so probably very old

So why not upgrade the whole cluster to what all APs would support?  the 6.4.4.4 http://support.arubanetworks.com/LifetimeWarrantySoftware/tabid/121/DMXModule/661/EntryId/21998/Default.aspx

wouldn't that be a downgrade?

can I go backwards in firmware?

It would be an upgrade from where you started, and gets you to the latest version of code that supports all of your current APs.

The current version of IAP code does not support the IAP105, which is why it can not rejoin the cluster.

HI,

Sorry to hijack this post, but I have a similar cluster with mixed IAP105s and IAP205s.  You have stated that 6.4.4.4-4.2.3.2 is the highest firmware version that IAP105s will still cluster with IAP205s.  I have looked on the support downloads and you can get version 6.4.4.8-4.2.4.4 for IAP105s.  Would it be OK to upgrade the whole cluster to this version of firmware? (6.4.4.8-4.2.4.4).  I don't want to break the cluster!

Thanks

Yes, I think it should work with 6.4.4.8-4.2.4.4 as well

Kevin

Thanks Kevin.
