SRX

Hi,

Recently I was upgrading a SRX1500 using request system software add, the device rebooted and was running the new version of Juniper. I then rebooted the device and now its booting into the following:

The SRX will not boot junos and only enters wind river linux, I can't find any good documentation for this, can anyone offer some advice on how to get junos back up and running?

Thanks.

The quick fix would be to do a clean usb install - download "install media" instead of "install package" and follow this knowledge base article: https://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB30944

The configuration will be lost with this approach.

Hi both,

Thanks for the reply, I have RMA'd the unit...

This happened to me whilst upgrading a SRX 1500 HA pair in staging..

Is there any documentation from Juniper regarding HA upgrades and a standard process?

Thanks.

Hi jjelliott1821,

Greetings, I don't want to be apprehensive but based on my experience your chances are slim to none, and most of the times we ended up RMAing the units, If you have JTAC support I would recommend you to open a case with them so you can go through the Install media process with a JTAC  representative on a meeting (hopefully) and if it fails you can request an RMA right away, nevertheless I really hope it works for you without having to replace the unit.
