  • 1.  downgrade IAP 225/315

    Posted Apr 18, 2017 03:39 AM

    Hi,

     

    I've a cluster with 2 IAP-225 and 2 IAP-315 running firmware 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.2

    I would like to downgrade the APs to 6.4.4.8-4.2.4.6.

     

    I tried to upgrade all together, and even just the 315  - but I alwasy get image verification failed. If I only have the 315 in the cluster and I try the uploading local file (instead of tftp), it says "invalid image file".

     

    I was able to downgrade to 6.5.0.0-4.3.0.0, however, any firmware below that - the verification fails. 

    The log is empty.

    Hey,  according to the datasheet the minimum supported firmware for the IAP315 is Aruba InstantOS 4.3.0.0, so you will not be able to downgrade below that.

    True!  good catch.

    That means I can't have an instant cluster with a combination of 315 and 105.

    However, stupid HP site, shows the lower version as available/compatible for the 315:

    Oh yeah I see what you mean! Maybe log a ticket with TAC and get the final answer.

    Hi Adi,

     

    315's are only supported from 4.3.0.0.

     

    I will get this corrected on the site.

     

    I would like to confirm you are referring to HPE My Networking Portal.
