    Just a quick update

    ap-move didnt work in my scenario

    But i've managed to make it work by making the AP controller less in the MM using 

     

    ap redeploy controller-less wired-mac <mac-address>

    or if it's more than one AP in the same group

    ap redeploy controller-less ap-group <group-name>

    What scenario is that?  Are the clusters on different versions of ArubaOS code?

    No - there are 8 clusters and all of them on the same version

    I use apmove command from the MD the AP is active on works great. I was able to move AP's from one cluster to another the AP radio was only down for about 5-7 seconds. You said did it from the MM you have to run the CLI command directly on the controller the AP is active on. 

    I had to move about 50 AP's from one cluster to another I created a spread sheet of commands pasted them in batch at a time. It was much faster then re-provisioning.

    You can move entire ap-groups of ap's.  You don't have to do it individually.

    Yes- Actualy that what i ended up doing. Set the IP address from DHCP to static and Put the IP address of the new controller. The APs alligned themselives to the new controller, once they came back after the reboot, changed the AP Group and changed the IP back to DHCP.
