I am thinking that the best solution to my flash memory problem (too little) is to buy some and put it in.
Can anyone give me the break down?
[I just ran the command 'request system snapshot' and got: error: removable-compact-flash media missing or invalid] Does this have something to do with why every tho I do 'EXTREME CLEANING' I still don't have room for installing recommended junos version?
Found request system snapshow technical article
But still have errors regarding copying to the USB. Tried mounting and not mounting it. Tried adding the as-partition when I was getting the further error: error: usb media missing or invalid
This makes me think I should kind of understand the process I will have to go through to upgrade the Flash before I buy the one in the link below. I mean, I can't even make a system snapshot without hurdle after hurdle. So how will I get the router 'up and running' with a blank flash card and no backup? I have a text copy of my configuration, and I have junos on my usb stick. It that all I will need? THANKS
ORIGINAL:
Since this is a J2350, is there anything different about how it is done than in this link:Replacing or installing Compact Flash in Routing Engine
The reason I ask this is that is says: for more information on how to change the internal CF on various REs, which makes me wonder if this document is for higher end routers that have multiple REs. When I look through the document is definiately is talking about multiple routing engines, which my J2350 does not have (it has one routing engine).
1.) If i have 435M flash in my J2350 router now, can I add 1GIG Sandisk Compact Memory Card that was removed from a Juniper switch?
2.) If I replace my flash (if there is a 1G limit in J2350) with this card, how do you go about putting the JunOS and /or config back on from blank?
3.) Is there only 1 slot? or is there more than one slot?
Can I just add a second card to get more memory into the router? Like a512M card and suppliment my existing flash memory?
- would this path keep me from the issue in number 2 ?
4.) Where do you open the router to see the flash memory?
Found two technical docs that answered this question:
How to get the cover off
Where the Compact Flash card is inside the router and how to get to it
I found this link to what looks like it would work to upgrade to 1G flash: does this look like the right piece?
1G Compact Flash for J-Series Routers
