Wow I guess 9.9 was really a short lived release, only 5 weeks and no MR.

It seems like 9.10 more or less is the MR. I guess it's a new version numbering scheme.

I would agree except for this:

"Officially Supported 9.10 Upgrade Paths

The following ZoneDirector builds can be directly upgraded to ZoneDirector build

9.10.0.0.218:

• 9.9.0.0.212 (9.9 GA)

• 9.9.0.0.212 (9.9 GA refresh)

• 9.9.0.0.216 (9.9 GA refresh)

NOTE: If you do not have a valid Support Entitlement, you will be unable to upgrade

ZoneDirector to this release. See Administer > Support page for information on

Support Entitlement activation.

Due to the enforcement of the Support Entitlement feature in ZoneDirector 9.10,

Ruckus recommends upgrading to 9.10 from one of the above 9.9 builds only.

You can also upgrade directly to 9.10 from one of the following 9.8 builds. However,

you will be prompted to reset to factory defaults before the upgrade can continue.

(This is not required when upgrading from 9.9 to 9.10.)

9.8 builds that can be directly upgraded to 9.10 (requires factory default):

• 9.8.0.0.379 (9.8 GA)

• 9.8.1.0.101 (9.8 Maintenance Release 1)

• 9.8.2.0.15 (9.8 Maintenance Release 2)

If you are running an earlier version, you must first upgrade to one of the above

builds before upgrading to this release."

You basically have to go to 9.9 before 9.10 unless you want to reset config. This doesn't mention if you can do a restore, which I hope you can?

I took that as coincidental, but yeah, it does double the amount of downtime to move to 9.10 from earlier releases.

I looked at 9.8.2 and you can upgrade even from 9.6.0 GA to 9.8.2 directly. It seems like Ruckus is just trying to reduce the range of backward compatibility, for one reason or another.

(Migration is a hard problem, and forcing everyone through the same supported paths is probably not a bad idea from a software engineering standpoint)

According to https://support.ruckuswireless.com/answers/000004122 there a still features missing on ac access points. I cannot find in release notes if channelfly is yet supported? Is it on ac in 9.10?

So I ran 9.8 in my "lab" environment (my home) for months with no issues. I upgraded to 9.10 last week and it seems my IOS devices have issues with it. While I'm connected to the AP with good signal i have very very slow or no Internet access. I've not troubleshoot this much at all to see if I can reach local resources, but if I forget the network and re-add it it seems to resolve itself for a while.

While it could be be something else going on but wanted to put this out there and see if others have experienced this issue or any other problems?

For what it's worth, I have two ZD1125's in a Smart Redundancy pair with a ZF700 & a ZF7982.

I upgraded from 9.9 to 9.10.0.0 build218 5 days ago.
ZD1125 with 22 APs mixed 7362 and R500.
No issues reported with my numerous iPAD users.
Neither confirms or denies...just my situation.

Would suggest you raise a case with support or start a new thread with more specifics.
