it doesn't work when pushing for the first time.
-i tried to create a brand new group, even with minimal SSID configuration.
-i tried to duplicate a working group (that has mostly the same baseconfig, except SSID config), just by deleting old SSIDs and creating a new ones (all done prior new physical installation).
same result: IAP VC with default out-of-the-box configuration did not sync some configuration (namely SSID configs and admin user) with the group config i wanted to attach AP-s to. It still kept default admin user and instant SSID and rules.
i tried multiple rebooting, factory resetting etc. AP-s come up, sync half the config and report as Good/UP (but they're not!) under event log. Under AP/Devices they're reported as "Verifying" though and Group->Instant Config -> VC List shows stuck under processing (and these round arrows)
only after i created a secondary group and moved these new devices (VC and APs) there, configuration was finnaly synced.
after that, i can edit existing config okay.
IAP is latest official 8.2.3.1, server spec is vmware appliance, 4 vCPU (HP G8 based intel xeons), 8GB vRAM, 80G SSD disk from datastore. From large enterprise grade vmware clusterm, that consists of tens of servers and high-end storage system.
top chows cpu usage barely 3%
vmstat -s shows active mem usage at around 4,2G
df -h hows available 56GB free
devices: ~250 licensed, 170 approved
other existing installations, where everything is done, are working fine. i can remove, create or edit SSIDs. Graphs and reports work etc. Doesn't feel sluggish at all.
