Hi all,

As per 6.4 UG, it mentioned that a mesh-cluster-recovery profile will be generated in master controller after meshing is configured and provisioned.

But in the "show running config | include recovery" i don't see any output of it.

Please help.

Thanks,

Try this command: 

show ap mesh-recovery-profile

Got it.. thanks!

the show running config | include recovery is misleading..haha

It was removed out of the running config around the 6.4 release, but Colin's command does expose it.

Waht about AOS8? I try to configure mesh on my VMC, but the GUI says 'No mesh recovery cluster profile.' 

In the CLI I see the same error:

#show ap mesh-recovery-profile
No AP Mesh Recovery profile is found

What can be a problem here? Why VMC doesn't generate the recovery profile automatically? How can I enforce this?

THX

Do you have an MM in place?  According to the user guide here: https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ArubaOS_83_Web_Help/Web_Help_Index.htm#ArubaFrameStyles/Mesh/Mesh_Profiles_.htm?Highlight=mesh%20recovery it is generated dyamically by the MM.  That might not be available if you do not have an MM.

I do see a mesh cluster profile on my MD and an MM is in place.

Hi Joseph!

No unfortunately this is a standalone VMC, I have no MM installed.

rry for slow response. Standalone VMC to see mesh recovery profile is 'show ap mesh-recovery-profile'. it's not longer part of the running config.

Hi Jerrod

The show ap mesh-recovery-profile command says: 

[mynode] #show ap mesh-recovery-profile
No AP Mesh Recovery profile is found

But this would be a quite strong limitation if a standalone controller wouldn't be able to provide mesh functionality....

Meantime I installed another VMC - same standalone instance, same sw version - and there it seems the mesh recovery profile is there, so something went wrong on my controller, but it woudl be nice to have a commande which can enforce the regenartion of the recovery profile. 

[mynode] #show ap mesh-recovery-profile

I don't know how it came up without a mesh recovery profile, that's generated on initial startup. A wr erase all should trigger it to rebuild, but if you still have it up and a wr erase all doesn't do it, open a TAC case so they can look at what's going on. If it was an early VMC from 8.0 and was upgraded over time, that might be it, but I don't know.
