1 - On the controller run the following commands:
>enable #self #no device-upgrade auto #com wr
This will prevent the APs from auto upgrading.
2 - Upload AP image on controller by following the steps in this article:

Only go up to step 3 to load image on controller without upgrading them.
3 - Load controller image by following these steps: https://gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com/articles/How_To/How-to-upgrade-a-WiNG-controller-or-AP-fro...
This will load the new controller image into the other partition. DO NOT REBOOT the controller until you are ready to start using the new image.
4 - Once you load the new image into the controller and to make sure it remains on the current image in case of an unexpected reboot, run the following commands:
#show boot
You should see the Current and Next Boot lines in there. The Next Boot should point to firmware 5.9.7 as well as the partition the controller is currently booted up into (Primary or Secondary). Assuming the next boot is the Secondary partition (5.9.7.0), run the following commands to make sure that the controller remain on the current firmware no matter what:
#boot system primary (again assuming that the current firmware is in the Primary partition and 5.9.7 in the Secondary partition)
#show boot (to confirm that the next boot points to the current firmware/partition and not the partition 5.9.7 is in)
Once you are ready to move to 5.9.7 run the following commands:
#system boot secondary
and reboot the controller:
#reload.
I hope this helps
