Preloading Image to AP and reset in C9800 WLC upgrade

[Charlie Grey]

when do we actually predownload the image to AP + image swap and AP reset in C9800 WLC image upgrade?

i follow the guide; it states to # AP image swap then ap image reset which will cause the AP to reboot then to #install activate the image on the WLC.

if follow the above the install activate reboot and commit take so long on the controller, the AP confirm down or dunno download image from somewhere else..

is the above correct????

Copy the image to WLC

ap image predownload

Verify the pre-download status

show ap image

 Once completed

ap image swap

When ready to do upgrade

ap image reset

install activate

install commit
