    I'm attempting to install ArubaOS VMC but the installer hangs on Initializing FPAPPs everytime. There are no error messages. It just sits there. Any ideas?

    FPAPPS is the switching component of ArubaOS.

     

    Did you follow the instructions here?  https://support.arubanetworks.com/Documentation/tabid/77/DMXModule/512/Command/Core_Download/Default.aspx?EntryId=30118

     

    What version of ArubaOS is this?

    I'm trying to install it on our Scale Computing VM. It's based on KVM so it should work, however, there are no instructions since it's technically not supported.

    The link provided no longer seems to be active.  Can you tell me what document this is?

    It is dead because we switched forum software.  Here is a link to the ArubaOS 8.9 Virtual Appliance install guide:  https://asp.arubanetworks.com/downloads/documents/RmlsZTo3NmQ2MDMyZS0wNDc2LTExZWMtODE1Ni0zMzA4ZjMyYTNlOWQ%3D

    Hi , same error here on Aruba 9004 LTE someone know how to fix that?

    I tried to reset the device but seems that the reset button doesn't work at all , after the stuck initializing or just after the power on.

    Use at your own risk. If unsure, in production, reach out to Aruba Support to let them advise what to do.

    What worked for me on a 7005 controller that had similar issues; be warned that you might 'brick' your controller:
    - Connect to the controller serial console
    - Power off, Power on the controller
    - Press Enter to access the cpboot prompt (note that some controllers have a 'press enter to interrupt boot' moment before cpboot, so make sure you are in the cpboot> promt. If not start over and interrupt at the second 'press enter' prompt.
    - Enter the command: format 0:2
    - Enter the command: reset

Boot will now continue 'as expected'​

    The format 0:2 will wipe the 'ancillary FS' and have it recreated at the next reboot. It should be harmless, but I cannot take responsibility if you break or brick your controller.
