某些情况下，可能这些COS AP的其中某个part文件存在异常，导致无法转换成Mobility Express，此时会遇到如下的报错。

查看AP的版本情况。可以观察到AP的backup部分没有镜像文件，此时建议将AP的backup使用lightweight AP镜像填充。

将AP的backup区域刷一个镜像，这里以Release 8.5.182为例。

待AP重启后，可以看到两个part都具有镜像文件。

等到这种情况下的时候，我们再使用ap-type mobility-express命令去完成ME模式的转换。
LAP#ap-type mobility-express tftp://192.168.1.2/AIR-AP1815-K9-ME-8-5-182-0.tar
待AP镜像获取完毕，即可启动成ME的系统。

此方法可以尝试解决LAP无法直接升级为ME模式（如最开始的报错）的情况。
