Have you read the ZD1100 9.10 Release Notes?

You can disconnect your ZD from APs during the ZD upgrade process, and at the end, APs will 
download whatever version the ZD is running when ZD/APs are reconnected to the network. 
You will need support entitlement to get to version 9.10.

Always save a backup at the starting ZD version when you do an upgrade, and add the version
digits to the filename to remind you, like ruckus_debug_v952015_081215_10_43.dbg

I'm posting ZD 9.10.1.0.59 (MR1) to Support this morning, so you may wish to go to this release.
