I got 3 ap7522, A is act as vc, under A's cli, I  upgrade firmware on B and C to 7.7.1.12 with:

1. upload new firmware 7.7.1.12 to vc: 

#device-upgrade load-image ap7522 tftp://192.168.9.56/AP7522-7.7.1.12-003R.img

device-upgrade rf-domain hkjm ap7522 no-reboot

ref: https://extreme-networks.my.site.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000081743&q=how%20to%20upgrade%20firmware%...

I just want the other partition contain 7.7.1.12 firmware as backup, not to use it right now.  so A is still running 5.9.8
After B and C finished firmware upgrade, I put both of them's next boot partition to 5.9.8 and reload the ap, but after reload and join rfdm again, vc automatically instruct them to download 7.7.1.12 and reload it again to 7.7.1.12 partition, why?

@zlinuxboy 
Can you advise what the end game is?
Should all 3 APs be configured for 5.9.x and have the secondary partition loaded with 7.7.1.12
Or are you trying to have all 3 APs load 7.7.1.12 on both the primary and secondary partition.

Note:
The default behavior of the VC AP is to upgrade APs to the image loaded in flash if there is a mismatch.
If you would rather manually trigger the upgrading of the APs, you will need to disable this feature on the AP designated as the VC.

After I delete the vc's flash:/upgrade/birch.img, the upgrade and reload loop end. but it's just a workaround, any correct configuration to avoid this behavior?

As Daren_Elis already mentioned you should disable "device-upgrade auto" in the virtual controller:

if the adoptee's running firmware is not match with vc's flash:/upgrade/birch.img, vc will automatically upgrade it to the match firmware and reload it?
how to end this loop action? delete the firmware on vc flash:/upgarde/birch.img?
