    Hi Aruba pepole

    I have a  MM running  on 8.7.19 and controllers cluster of 4  7220 working just fine.

    We need more capacity so we got 2 7240XM that we like to add to  the sutup maybe as a new cluster not sure..

    1.should/like   the MM get to higher release ?

    2.What release is prefer if  prefer LSR and not new features ?

    3.Should I run mix controllers release when I have 2 7220 & 7240MX ?

    appreciate your help

    Shay

    You have two options right now for a software upgrade:

    1. AOS 8.10 (LSR)
    2. AOS 8.12 (SSR)

    Avoid mixing controller models in the same cluster unless you fully understand how cluster capacity is calculated in that situation.

    The software version also depends on the access points used, among other things. For example, 2xx APs are no longer supported in the 8.12 version. 600 series APs are only supported in version 8.12.xx.

    Yes

    I still have some AP  205/4 on the networks

    How about ArubaOS-8.10.0.13 ?

    Do you have good or bad experience with that release ?

    AOS 8.10.0.14 would be the current version to upgrade to for the 8.10 train.

    Certain models from the 600 family of APs are only supported in 8.12.  The 635 was originally introduced on AOS 8.9 and the 655 on AOS 8.10.
