One more idea, if you have the time.
When we moved to AOS 8 we used it as a time to configure our network from scratch to be sure all old unused stuff was gone. Similarly it might be a good idea for you to spend time understanding your configuration. Personally, I prefer to know why things are set up as they are to aid in troubleshooting and improvement. That is a very tall task for somebody starting out. I really hope you can find an experienced Aruba engineer to assist you.
I do not know if it is possible for you to get evaluation licenses to run a virtual controller for testing. Again your account team may be able to assist if your company has the resources needed..

Subject: New Stand alone controller config
Hi all,
I'm new to Aruba products as I just took over the responsibilities from a former employee. Come to find out we are on 6.5.4.8 so it needs to be upgraded, to say the least. After doing some research and consulting with an Aruba rep it seems the best route is to start from scratch since were making such a big leap from 6.5.4.8 to 8.6.x.x So I'm really just trying to find the most up today documentation on setting up a new stand-alone controller on a 7205 and looking for any recommended reading in planning for this. I've found some documentation but it all seems to be from years ago and I'm unsure if that's the most recent.
We have a very simple config from what I can tell 3 SSID's, 26 AP 325's, 7 VLAN's Were not doing anything that advanced from what I can see. I'm going to be setting up another 7205 and a spare AP325 for a lab assuming I can get a demo license. So anything you can do to get me started would be greatly appreciated!!
