You can manually upload AOS10 and then do the startup configuration from console. It will work.

No i have 2 x 9004 Gateways in factory default settings. I want to connect them to Aruba Central (AOS 10), central subscription is already procured. Now i want to know that if i locally access the 9004 gateways and change the firmware from AOS8 to AOS10, will it work? if yes what steps do i need to take, like when it will reboot after upgrade to AOS10, can i assign it ip manually (i dont have dhcp server), or dhcp server is mandatory?

Hi @Ronin101.
No. You can't upgrade. You need to migrate. Now your question is a little bit undefined. Do you want to move APs from AOS8 to AOS10 or controllers from AOS8 to AOS10.
For APs you just define a group of AOS10 type, setup a Firmware compliance and move APs to this new group. Unfortunately configuration can't be retained. You need to define it from scratch.
The main requirement is that you have valid subscriptions for Aruba Central. AOS10 is cloud only.
Best, Gorazd

Dear Experts,
Can someone advise if without going through ztp process, can i upgrade the firmware from AOS8 to AOS 10 on controller manually? what will happen after this step as i am not able to get much information.
