I managed to migrate Aruba Controller managed AP (CampAP) to Aruba Central.  
Aruba Controller 7205 AOS 8, with AP 365 JX966A.
Make sure you are accessing Aruba Controller, not Aruba Conductor.
Here is my steps
1. On Aruba Central -> Devices, click "Add Devices" to add the AP.
2. On Aruba Central click Maintenance -> Access Point -> Convert to instance mode.  
   Select the AP, then click "Convert to Intant mode" button.
3. Wait for 20-30 mins, the AP will convert to IAP, and then join Aruba Central.  
Hope that helps to those who struggle to migrate AP to Aruba Central.  

We are also in the process of moving our AP's from MM to Aruba Central. But when I try to add the AP from "Add Devices", I keep getting a message "Device(s) with Serial Number: CNBxxxxxx is blocked or invalid.

That message, in general, means that the AP is already registered in Central, in another account; or the APs may be reported as stolen. Is this just for one specific AP? Or for all the APs?

If you don't know where the AP is registered, please open a TAC case so they can check where the AP is registered and release it from there. They may ask for a proof of purchase to make sure you are the legitimate owner of the AP.

Hi Bella, 

I'm also doing same migration. May I know you are migrate to Aruba Central with AOS8 or AOS 10? as i wish to migrate it to AOS 10. If AOS 10, still need firmware upgrade manually after convert to instance mode? or AP will auto firmware upgrade to version 10 when joining the Aruba Central with AOS 10?
