How to upgrade both WLC configured in HA

Hello team,

I need to upgrade both the standby and active WLCs using the CLI. However, I couldn't find the method to upgrade the standby WLC via CLI in the official Cisco documentation. Could you please share the procedure? I believe the standby WLC has a limited set of accepted CLI commands and has no GUI, so I want to confirm how to transfer the image to the standby WLC and perform the upgrade via CLI.

Additionally, since I have to upgrade both WLCs (active and standby) individually, won't there be a version mismatch after upgrading the first one? Could this mismatch affect the HA setup?

I am working with 9800 WLCs configured in HA mode (active and standby) that manage over 1,000 APs. What is the recommended approach to upgrade the software in this setup?

 You dont upgrade WLC in HA individually. Gets familiar with Software Maintenance Updates  and you will be fine
