Subject: New Central Access Point/Gateway Migration from Old Central
Moving to New Central starts with creating a new group in Classic Central that is marked as New Central ready, and then rebuilding your configuration there.
Also note that all devices must be bound to their corresponding sites, because New Central only shows APs when they are assigned to a site. This site binding is part of the configuration hierarchy in New Central.
If you are using gateways, I recommend discussing this with your local Aruba Partner, because not all gateway features are currently supported in New Central.
The documentation can be found here:

Subject: New Central Access Point/Gateway Migration from Old Central
I have all my access points and gateways configured in Old Central. Considering new Central seems to be taking over for old, do I need to manually move my access points/gateways/configurations to New Central or will they eventually just migrate automatically? Monitoring seems to already be active in New Central (which is nice) but it looks like I have to choose old or new central for my configurations and not both.
I have been unable to find any good documentation on migration either, is there anything good for migration documentation you can point me to as well?
