#2. Just make sure that the ap-groups that exist in ArubaOS 6.5 also exist in 8.x

Subject: Rejoining Access Points from AOS 6.5 to AOS 8.7
I will install new Aruba 7010 controllers with AOS 8.7 soon. This will replace an AOS 6.5 environment. Once I have installed the new 7010's I want to reprovision the Aruba 305 Access Points that previously were joined on the AOS 6.5 controllers. What is the best way to do this ?
- Reprovision the AP's from AOS 6.5 by providing the new controller addresses and reload the AP's ?
- Configure the new controller address on option 43 of the Access Point scope / Vlan and reload the AP's ? ( not sure if that is enough)
- Configure the new controller address on option 43 of the Access Point scope / Vlan and factory default the AP's with the "paperclip procedure" (not sure if it is required)
- Something else ... ?
Thanks in advance :-)
