    SOLVED.

    Hi
    On Arubaos Wlc 6.5.x I can configure HA Group to allow APs make backup tunnel to Standby Wlc
    Is this possible with 8.6?
    No Mobility Masters used or wanted? 

    If Yes pls provide link to setup documentation

    I tried to do it but no backup tunnels were up
    Pls advice

    You would have to configure "master redundancy" and point the access points to the VRRP in the AP System Profile (LMS-IP).  In this setup, there are no backup tunnels; the status of the VRRP determines which controller is actually the master and can accept access points.  The access points point to the VRRP, so that they connect to the same ip address upon failover.

    Hi
    Yes this is done already. I was looking how to make HA to allow seamless and fast AP tunnel failover to Stanby but it requires Mobility Master to maintain active and backup tunnels
    Thanks

    Hi,

    You only need the mobility conductor if you want to use a controller cluster with activ/activ and AP and user load balancing.
    For HA-Group redundancy you do not need a mobility conductor. You can configure it the same way as in the OS 6 environment. Here is a link with configuration example.

    good luck

    Thanks
    I’ll try. I tested yesterday almost simular configuration in the link You provided, I’ve Active -Standby (dual-dual) and has not pre-emption. I try again may be something was missing.
