Aruba 535 not showing up in Virtual Controller

  • 1.  Aruba 535 not showing up in Virtual Controller

    Posted Oct 03, 2019 06:33 PM

    The two Aruba 535 (FW 8.5.0.0-U) which I plugged in do not show up in the virtual controller as new APs. The Virtual controller is on an IAP325 (8.5.0.2) with a couple of IAP325 and IAP225. 

     

    Also I cannot login (with admin / serial number) into the unified AP's 535. The error message is:  Login failed. Please re-enter Username & Password.

     

    When I ssh into the unified AP535 with admin/admin I get the message: Warning: CLI is currently running in upgrade-only mode. Only upgrade operation is supported, other operations may not funcion.

     

    Please advise

    The IAP225/IAP325 use a different firmware version (Centaurus/Hercules vs Scorpio) to the AP535. Upgrade a single AP535 to 8.5.0.2 and introduce this to the cluster. Any additional AP535s will now be able to upgrade their image and join the cluster as well.
