I went ahead and factory reset all of my 303s and the 365. rebuilt the config (it was small) and the 303s all came back into the cluster, but the 365 did not, so it's still just a standalone AP. This is disappointing, but I can work with it. I don't know of anything else to try except a different firmware version, but I'd rather just stay on the latest version. Thank you for your help.

Hi Mike.
Can you check logs on AP303? I would suggest to take a show tech-support and look into cluster forming.
From your console output I can see that APs are seeing each other but do not complete the forming of the cluster. Usually this is due to FW version mismatch /you wrote that are the same) or it can be, that your 303 cluster does not have "allow-new-aps" enabled or something else.
There is another observation. As you pointed out in the logs, you are seeing the error "ADP info: CAP-only sku."
This is very unusual for AP-365 as this should be an universal AP. There are several options.
Supported one is to use controller to convert CAP to Instant.
Unsupported can be found on internet

I tried the uap_controller_less 1, but that just resulted in repeated !!! Init ---> Member outputs in the console, so I ran purgeenv to reset everything.
The AP ip address 192.168.1.180 is a DHCP reservation and the AP can ping the current conductor AP at 192.168.1.153

I see you have the correct Aruba Instant Image. What you can try is to set uap_controller_less=1
boot> setenv uap_controller_less 1
boot> saveenv
This should disable controller discovery process.
Now check, if we get IP address in the same subnet as AP303s.
boot> dhcp
boot> ping <your AP303 or VC IP>
boot> boot
Also check, if you have enabled autojoin in your existing cluster.

Hi Mike.
AP-303 and AP-365 are all universal type of AP and can be Instant or CAP or standalone.
Depend on your country, it can be that the model is wrong. Your model is Rest-of-world (RW) hence it can't be used in specific countries like US, Izrael, Egipt, Japan
On boot prompt list the environment variables with printenv command. This can give as some clues on how AP is configured.
Also look into osinfo command to see the FWs available on AP.
There are several threads in the community how to upgrade AP from boot prompt.
Best, Gorazd
You can also manually boot or upgrade from boot prompt to desired FW version.

The APs are all running the same fw and there's only one VLAN on the switch. Maybe the CAP-only sku is a problem?

First step is always to upgrade/downgrade APs to the same FW version as you have it in an existing cluster, if this is a new model of AP that is not yet in the cluster.
If you have Activate, Central or Airwave, this will be taken for you, if you set it up correctly.
After that you can join a new AP into the cluster. Usually without additional problems.
As #DB86 already wrote, all APs in the cluster must have the same FW version.

I've done another factory reset and the AP is up now and I can login to the GUI and SSH, but it's still not joining the 303 cluster, so it's just a standalone AP right now.

If they can run the same version of OS, then they can cluster. Have you tried to factory reset the outdoor AP. Make sure its in the same VLAN as the other APs when its booting back up for the first time.

Hey all,
I have 3 303 indoor APs in an IAP cluster and a 'new' 365 I need to put outside (they are all used APs that I have factory reset). I've got them all on the most current 8.11.0.1_85785 firmware, but I can't get the 365 to join the 303 cluster. Before I post more details I just want to make sure these models are compatible.
Should they be able to be in the same cluster?
What's strange is that when I go to the 365 IP, it redirects to the cluster master, but it doesn't show in the cluster and doesn't have the shared config if I ssh to it.
I have confirmed they all have different IPs from DHCP reservations.
Mike
