As part of advancing HPE's commitment to racial justice, we are taking a much-needed step in overhauling HPE engineering terminology to reflect our belief system of diversity and inclusion. Some legacy products and publications may continue to include terminology that seemingly evokes bias against specific groups of people. Such content is not representative of our HPE culture and moving forward, Aruba will replace racially insensitive terms and instead use the following new language:

Chapter 8 Upgrade Procedure
Upgrade Procedure
This chapter details software upgrade procedures. It is recommended that you schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade.
Read all the information in this chapter before upgrading your Mobility Master, managed device, or stand-alone controller.
Important Points to Remember
To upgrade your managed device or Mobility Master: n Schedule the upgrade during a maintenance window and notify your community of the planned
upgrade. This prevents users from being surprised by a brief wireless network outage during the upgrade. n Avoid making any changes to your network, such as configuration changes, hardware upgrades, or changes to the rest of the network during the upgrade. This simplifies troubleshooting. n Know your network and verify the state of the network by answering the following questions: l How many APs are assigned to each managed device? Verify this information by navigating to the
Dashboard > Access Points page in the WebUI, or by executing the show ap active or show ap database commands. l How are those APs discovering the managed device (DNS, DHCP Option, Broadcast)? l What version of ArubaOS runs on your managed device? l Are all managed devices running the same version of ArubaOS? l What services are used on your managed device (employee wireless, guest access, Remote AP, wireless voice)? n Resolve any existing issues (consistent or intermittent) before you upgrade. n If possible, use FTP to load ArubaOS images to the managed device. FTP is faster than TFTP and offers more resilience over slow links. If you must use TFTP, ensure the TFTP server can send over 30 MB of data. n Always upgrade the non-boot partition first. If you encounter any issue during the upgrade, you can restore the flash, and switch back to the boot partition. Upgrading the non-boot partition gives you a smoother downgrade path, if required. n Before you upgrade to this version of ArubaOS, assess your software license requirements and load any new or expanded licenses that you might require. For a detailed description of these new license modules, refer the Aruba Mobility Master Licensing Guide. n Multiversion is supported in a topology where the managed devices are running the same version as the Mobility Master, or two versions lower. For example multiversion is supported if a Mobility Master is running ArubaOS 8.5.0.0 and the managed devices are running ArubaOS 8.5.0.0, ArubaOS 8.4.0.0, or ArubaOS 8.3.0.0.

Memory Requirements
All Aruba managed devices store critical configuration data on an onboard compact flash memory module. Ensure that there is always free flash space on the managed device. Loading multiple large files such as JPEG images for RF Plan can consume flash space quickly. Following are best practices for memory management: n Do not proceed with an upgrade unless 100 MB of free memory is available. Execute the show
memory command to identify the available free memory. To recover memory, reboot the managed device. After the managed device comes up, upgrade immediately. n Do not proceed with an upgrade unless the minimum flash space is available. Execute the show storage command to identify the available flash space. If the output of the show storage command indicates that there is insufficient flash memory, free some used memory. Copy any log files, crash data, or flash backups from your managed device to a desired location. Delete the following files from the managed device to free some memory: l Crash data: Execute the tar crash command to compress crash files to a file named crash.tar.
Use the procedures described in Backing up Critical Data on page 40 to copy the crash.tar file to an external server. Execute the tar clean crash command to delete the file from the managed device. l Flash backups: Use the procedures described in Backing up Critical Data on page 40 to back up the flash directory to a file named flash.tar.gz. Execute the tar clean flash command to delete the file from the managed device. l Log files: Execute the tar logs command to compress log files to a file named logs.tar. Use the procedures described in Backing up Critical Data on page 40 to copy the logs.tar file to an external server. Execute the tar clean logs command to delete the file from the managed device.
In certain situations, a reboot or a shutdown could cause the managed device to lose the information stored in its flash memory. To avoid such issues, it is recommended that you execute the halt command before power cycling.
Deleting a File
You can delete a file using the WebUI or CLI.
In the WebUI
From the Mobility Master, navigate to Diagnostic > Technical Support > Delete Files and remove any aging log files or redundant backups.
In the CLI
(host) #delete filename <filename>
Backing up Critical Data
It is important to frequently back up all critical configuration data and files on the flash memory to an external server or mass storage device. You should include the following files in these frequent backups: n Configuration data n WMS database n Local user database n Licensing database n Custom captive portal pages
