I've discovered that Aruba WAP support is quite broken:
SELECT min(id),max(id),count(*) FROM [dbo].[Wireless_AccessPoints]
| Min | Max | Count |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 15,499,066 | 9206 |
We've never had fifteen and a half million different wireless access points on campus (the 9206 is about right)
What I think is happening is when we reboot a controller all of the AP failover to their backup, and NPM deletes them from the database. So each time we distribute a software upgrade to our controllers we end up with about 18,000 new rows being added and removed from the database, along with all of the history. Each time a controller is rebooted, there goes another couple of thousand rows (and all the history)
anyone else noticed this? any suggestions on stopping this behavior?
