Colin,
Thanks for the alternative suggestion - I have attempted this but was surprised when the CLI command 'ap redeploy' was not available. I'm running an Aruba7205-US on version 8.1.0.2 - do you happen to know if the command was updated to something else? [ap ?] provides the following output - no redeploy option is available:
