7.4.100.60 MR

MikeCoghlan — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 07:03:53 GMT

7.4.100.0 had many HA issues.

Today I saw that 7.4.100.60 was release but the release notes point to an upcoming 7.4.110.x realease.

Does anyone have feedback on this Beta release. I know it's been available from TAC for a while and was just released into the wild today.

Thanks in Advance

Well if your looking to know if the beta is stable... I would have to say not really. To me, a stable release is a version in which in a few months, there are no types of HA issues. When a new release comes out, I would wait a few months and monitor the forum. If you see any post regarding HA in 7.x, then you will know if its something you should do or not.

My 2 cents

Yep...I am usually of that same mentality as well.

Problem I am having trouble digesting is that there does not appear to a version of code in which HA is stable so the HA 5508 appliance I bought sits idle....waiting.

Just looking for some logical next steps.

Thanks

Same here. I'm keeping my hands off this "beta" until 7.5.X comes out in the next few weeks.

Not sure if they'll release another Major Rev (7.5.xx.x) just yet but I believe they'll be Rev'ing to 7.4.110.x

Either way I hope we get some stable HA code soon!!

Thanks

Well the 7.4.100.60 is the beta for the 7.4.110.x release, so I don't know how stable that will be with no plan for making changes in such a short time frame:)

Thanks,

Scott

Mike - I have 4 HA WLC sitting idle since January, so I feel your pain. I would just settle for enough stability to run 7.4 in N+1 mode for the time being.

I have moved many clients to N+1 on v7.4 with no issues. I don't think there will be any stable version anything soon. Some of my clients got rid of the HA WLC and got a WLC with licenses and totally went away from HA.

Hi Mike

7.4.100.60 is a subset of the fixes coming on planned 7.4.110.0 (what we call internally 7.4MR1)

100.60 release has been in use over one month on more than 30 customers, and it addresses the most important fixes needed in the field from 7.4.100.0 release

The next manteniance release will address additional issues, with the objective of "hardening" the 7.4 release and HA in general.

Both are purely "bug fixing only" releases, with no features added.

Why it is posted as beta?

Basically because it is not the final bug list we had for 7.4MR1, but there are some issues we evaluate as needed to be fixed in the field, on a short time frame, so this was posted until final image process is completed

Regards

7.4.100.60 MR

Leo Laohoo — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:09:10 GMT

Thanks Javier.

Do you know when 110 will be released?

The next manteniance release will address additional issues, with the objective of "hardening" the 7.4 release and HA in general.

So 110 will be the "hardening" of 7.4 and bug fixes in HA?

Thanks Javier.... We have one client that was participating on the beta with you guys that ran into issues. Don't want to mention it here but we are working with Darren D and a few guys at the BU. maybe Darren can fill you in in the latest issue we ran into.

>Do you know when 110 will be released?

Curent time frame is June

>so 110 will be the "hardening" of 7.4 and bug fixes in HA?

yes, correct, that is the plan. HA quality improvements, and general 7.4 hardening.

Hi all,

As updated in the TAC post; I have recapped the general guidelines with a bit more color below:

https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-32259

As several new features have been introduced within 7.3 and 7.4; we have observed that some customers have run into specific bugs with implementing High Availability with Stateful Switchover and some other features. Therefore the general guidelines for partners and customers are as follows:

1. We will be posting a 7.4 Maintenance Release this summer(likely June-July) that will resolve known

critical issues with HA and the other features.

2. If you cannot wait to deploy WLC HA until then please use the interim maintenance release, 7.4.100.60, that has been posted to CCO.(Most of the known issues have been fixed in the interim maintenance release. Many customers that were experiencing HA issues have deployed this and it was demonstrated to be successful in those environments. This interim maintenance release is TAC supported as well)

Please check the release notes for applicable resolved issues.

I will revive this thread as I have seen nothing of a formal 7.4 MR being posted beyone the Beta release of 7.4.100.60. This was supposed to have been in the June/July timefranme and we are getting close to missing that.

We purchased the HA sku of the 5508 near the beginning of the year and are waiting for stable code to implement.

Does anyone know when we can expect the latest Non-Beta 7.4.xxx.xx code so that we can move forward with our HA deployment or are we still in a position where we're sitting on a $20k HA investment doing nothing?

Thanks in Advance.

TAC has a version but the HA fixes on that will be the same fixes as v7.4 MR1 when that comes out in a month.

Seems to be a common theme these days. I too have an HA 5508 along with a stack of the AC modules sitting in my storage room that I can't deploy because Cisco hasn't release Prime 1.4 or 7.5 and the release date keeps slipping further and further back. I'm supposed to get an engineering release for install next month, but I'm not real sure I want to deploy on unreleased code. I have enough issues as it is now.

Re: 7.4.100.60 MR

Scott Fella — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 21:49:11 GMT

Well no matter what, the HA fixes in the TAC release is the same fixes when MR1 comes out. So if there are still issues with HA, v7.4MR1 and v7.5 will have the same issues.
