You shouldn't do a cluster upgrade with Remote APs, for this reason.

Subject: Cluster Upgrade AP stuck "reboot in progress"
Hi guys,
is it possible to skip an AP which is hanging in a cluster update with status "Reboot in Progress"?
At the moment I'm upgrading a 72xx cluster from 8.7.1.4 to 8.7.1.8 with around 450 APs / RAPs connected. I'm not quite sure why but most of the RAPs stuck with the reboot in progress status. I found out that the normal reboot wait timer is (in this firmware) 15 minutes -> which sucks :)
For now I can't tell if the RAPs where online at the beginning of the update and were plugged out after the Image preload...
Is there a way to skip the wait timer so resume the update process? AND: Can I bypass RAPs (exclude groups, etc) in the cluster update process?
Thanks for your answers
