Table 20 describes the fields that appear after you start the AP upgrade process.

Table 20. AP Upgrade Status

Field	Description
Status	This field shows the status of the upgrade process for all APs:
	• Not Started—The WCS has not started the download process.
	• Requested—A request to download AP software has been made, but the
	switch has not done any downloads.
	• Success—Download completed successfully on all APs. An AP reports
	a successful download to the switch after the software transfers from the
	TFTP server to the AP and the code checksum is good. The code must
	also match the intended hardware platform.
	• Partial-Success—Download worked on some APs, but failed on others.
	A table lists each AP and its individual status so that you can see which
	APs failed to upgrade.
	• Failure—Download failed on all APs. A software download fails if the
	AP reports a software download failure due to an inability to contact the
	TFTP server or find the upgrade file, or if the AP loses connectivity with
	the switch.

Download Count	The number in this field shows the number of managed APs to download
	software in the current download request. If you selected All for the managed
	APs to upgrade, the download count shows the number of managed APs at
	the time the download request was started. The value is 1 if only one AP is
	being updated.

Success Count	The number in this field shows the number of APs that have successfully
	downloaded the new code. This value starts with 0 at the beginning of the
	download and increases by one for every AP that successfully downloaded
	the code.

Failure Count	The number in this field shows the number of APs that failed to download
	the new code. This value starts with 0 at the beginning of the download and
	increases by one for every AP that failed to downloaded the code.

A table also appears and lists each AP, its download status, and the software version it is downloading. The status for an individual AP can have one of the following values:

•Requested—Download has been requested for this AP.

•Pending—Download is planned for this AP, but the AP is not in the current download group, so it hasn't been told to start the download yet.

•Downloading—The AP has been told to download the code.

•Success—The AP reported successful code download.

•Failure—The AP reported a failed code download.
