Terminology Change
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:

Usage Campus Access Points + Controllers Instant Access Points Switch Stack Wireless LAN Controller Firewall Configuration Types of Hackers

Old Language Master-Slave
Master-Slave Master-Slave Mobility Master Blacklist, Whitelist Black Hat, White Hat

New Language Conductor-Member
Conductor-Member Conductor-Member Mobility Conductor Denylist, Allowlist Unethical, Ethical

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, master controller, 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 150 MB of 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 the 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 34 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 34 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 34 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 n x.509 certificates n Log files n Flash backup

34 | Upgrade Procedure

ArubaOS 8.7.1.4 Release Notes | Release Notes

Backing up and Restoring Flash Memory

Click Create Backup to backup the contents of the flash memory to the flashbackup.tar.gz file. 3. Click Copy Backup to copy the file to an external server. You can copy the backup file from the external server to the flash memory using the file utility in the Diagnostics > Technical Support > Copy Files page. 4. To restore the backup file to the flash memory, navigate to the Maintenance > Configuration Management > Restore page and click Restore.
In the CLI
The following steps describe how to back up and restore the flash memory: 1. Execute the following command in the enable mode: (host) #write memory 2. Execute the following command to back up the contents of the flash memory to the flashbackup.tar.gz file. (host) #backup flash Please wait while we take the flash backup....... File flashbackup.tar.gz created successfully on flash. Please copy it out of the controller and delete it when done. 3. Execute either of the following command to transfer the flash backup file to an external server or storage device. (host) #copy flash: flashbackup.tar.gz ftp: <ftphost> <ftpusername> <ftpuserpassword> <remote directory>
(host) #copy flash: flashbackup.tar.gz usb: partition <partition-number> You can transfer the flash backup file from the external server or storage device to the flash memory by executing either of the following command: (host) #copy tftp: <tftphost> <filename> flash: flashbackup.tar.gz
(host) #copy usb: partition <partition-number> <filename> flash: flashbackup.tar.gz 4. Execute the following command to untar and extract the flashbackup.tar.gz file to the flash memory. (host) #restore flash Please wait while we restore the flash backup........ Flash restored successfully. Please reload (reboot) the controller for the new files to take effect.

A Mobility Master or managed device has two partitions, 0 and 1. If the upgrade fails on one of the partitions, you can reboot the Mobility Master or managed device from the other partition.
Pre-requisites
Before you reboot the Mobility Master or managed device with the pre-upgrade ArubaOS version, perform the following steps:
1. Back up your Mobility Master or managed device. For details, see Backing up Critical Data on page 34. 2. Verify that the control plane security is disabled. 3. Set the Mobility Master or managed device to boot with the previously saved configuration file. 4. Set the Mobility Master or managed device to boot from the partition that contains the pre-upgrade ArubaOS version. When you specify a boot partition or copy an image file to a system partition, Mobility Master or managed device checks if the ArubaOS version is compatible with the configuration file. An error message is displayed if the boot parameters are incompatible with the ArubaOS version and configuration files. 5. After switching the boot partition, perform the following steps: n Restore the pre-upgrade flash backup from the file stored on the Mobility Master or managed device.
Do not restore the ArubaOS flash backup file. n Do not import the WMS database. n If the RF plan is unchanged, do not import it. If the RF plan was changed before switching the boot
partition, the changed RF plan does not appear in the downgraded ArubaOS version. n If any new certificates were added in the upgraded ArubaOS version, reinstall these certificates in the
downgraded ArubaOS version.
Downgrade ArubaOS version using the WebUI or CLI.
