Aruba 7205 Controller FW upgrade

    Posted Dec 20, 2019 02:51 PM

    Hi Aruba newbie here,

     

    I just unboxed a 7205 Controller and am running into issues trying to update the firmware of the device. Currently the controller is on ArubaOS 6.5.4.8 and 8.6 is the most recent release. I have tried updating the controller via the CLI and when I attempt to update I get a response that "command is not supported on this platform"

     

    CE-ARUBA-01)#copy usb: standard-mibs_8.6.0.0_73144.tar.gz system: partition 0

    command is not supported on this platform

     

    I also attempted from the web GUI and I cannot locate the aruba.sha256 download for 8.6 or any 8.x version.

     

    On another note, am I downloading the correct file (tar.gz) I tried to download the .iso but I my account is not "entitled" so those are blanked out. If that is the issue I'm facing and I'm trying to use the wrong file, how do I make my account entitled?

     

    Any ideas, tips? appreciate it!

    You are using the wrong file.  The file you should use to upgrade the 7200 series controller is in the screenshot below.
