  • 1.  ISSUE ON THE ARUBA VIRTUAL MOBILLITY CONTROLLER

    Posted 5 days ago

    Hello Aruba Community,

    I am currently installing and testing Aruba Mobility Controller (Virtual Mobility Controller) on VMware Workstation and need some guidance regarding High Availability (HA) failover licensing.

    My questions are:

    1. For HA failover, do I need a separate license on both the Primary and Standby controllers, or is a single license sufficient?

    2. Are there any specific HA licensing requirements for Virtual Mobility Controllers?

    3. Could anyone share best practices or documentation for configuring HA failover in a lab environment?

    Also, if there are any active Aruba learning groups, study groups, or community channels where members discuss Aruba technologies, certifications, and hands-on labs, please let me know. I would love to join and learn from the community. 

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello
     
    1. The best solution is to use the Mobility Conductor VM, which can configure all mobility controllers and act as a license server. If you don't want to, you can enable the license server on one controller, but this only applies to LIC-AP/PEF/RFP and MC-VA – you must have separate licenses on both controllers.
    2. No, you don't, but if you want a cluster with load balancing, live updates, etc., you need Mobility Conductor. For active and standby high availability, you don't need anything additional.
    3. It all depends on your needs. I don't remember the exact number, but there is a certain number of access points beyond which implementing Mobility Conductor becomes cheaper.
    Regards
