Make sure that the APs run the same firmware version (example 8.10.0.2_84367) before joining them in the same network. Only if they run the same firmware version they will form a cluster. These log messages tell that there is no firmware image in the (515) cluster for the AP505.
Best is to bring the 505 up in a separate network from the AP 515, then upgrade firmware, then move it back and it should work and form a cluster.

Subject: AP505 unable to join existing AP515 cluster
Hi,
I've got a Central Managed AP515 cluster running 8.10.0.2_84367. I'm attempting to add an AP505 which is currently on 8.7.1.6_81786 but it's failing to upgrade and join the cluster.
Cluster security is off. All the AP are on the same VLAN on a layer 2 switch. I've been informed that nothing is being blocked outbound by a firewall.
I'm seeing the following messages in the system log on the VC. Any ideas?
