    Hello,

    i have been trying to upgrade aruba virtual controller "207"  6.5.1.0,

    i have searched for automatic upgrade on the controller to a new version but its giving "received no response from server"

    And manually its requiring 2 URL options " Ursa" & "Vela"

    how can i fix this issue

    thanks!!

    IAP-207 only requires vela 

    Ursa is for AP-303H

    According to the release notes:

    https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/Aruba-Instant-8.x-Books/Release-Notes/86/Aruba-Instant-8.6.0.25-Release-Notes.pdf

    Refer to this section:

    "Upgrade from Instant 6.4.x.x-4.2.x.x to Instant 8.6.0.x
    Before you upgrade an Instant AP running Instant 6.5.4.0 or earlier versions to Instant 8.6.0.x, follow the
    procedures mentioned...."

    Hence; upgrade to the latest 6.5.4.x and then onward.

    As with any upgrade - due diligence, preparation and caution are prudent.

    Notes from experience:

    If the IAP are using VPN-NG tunnels terminated on an AOS /MD/BGW consult the applicable release notes carefully,

    Particularly an AOS command 'iapvpn-backward-compatible' (refer to the AOS CLI Reference guide).

    Mesh is significantly different.
