Problem: Aruba Access Point 225 doesn't want to run in IAP mode .. two acces point come always up with beeing standalone "master" access point

here is a solution that worked for me to pair both AP's and building a IAP cluster!
>> in boot mode use "proginv system ccode CCODE-RW-<sha1 hash of your serial>" command!


EXAMPLE:

##Acces Point 1
- serial number is for example: abc111111
- get sha1 hash for serial abc111111: 453070444dc8fe85b75c8ce68e78f6aacf4753f6
- boot your access point using a console cable to access boot menu
- make sure that you have instant ap firmware installed

- now run the following commands (with the right sha1 hash of course, this is just an example)
proginv system ccode CCODE-RW-453070444dc8fe85b75c8ce68e78f6aacf4753f6
invent -w (unlocks flash)
saveenv

check the result using command mfginfo .. you should see the Country line now:


##Acces Point 2
- serial number is for example: abc22222
- get sha1 hash for serial abc22222: 44cff178ce69c297ce5be839cfd5067ce36bfb0d
- boot your access point using a console cable to access boot menu
- make sure that you have instant ap firmware installed

- now run the following commands (with the right sha1 hash of course, this is just an example)
proginv system ccode CCODE-RW-44cff178ce69c297ce5be839cfd5067ce36bfb0d
invent -w (unlocks flash)
saveenv

check the result using command mfginfo .. you should see the Country line now:


>>> after both access points have been prepared in that way the IAP cluster was build as it should be, both
access points joined the some cluster!!
