SRX

So I am pretty sure this is a self created problem.

I was able to upgrade the BIOS /  firmware of the Routing Engine without issue.  But I rebooted right after and then tried the backup RE.  At this point it fails with the error of:

error: invalid xml tag () from chassis-control daemon

I've tried rebooting the SRX.  I've tried upgrading from with the CLI and out.  Nothing works.  This is a SRX210HE-POE with RE version 7.

BIOS / Firmware was 2.0 and we upgraded to 2.5.

Is there a way to upgrade the backup RE?

Hi,

I had the same issue, I've contacted JTAC and they give me a workaround:

If you want, you can do a quick health check on the bios:
=============================================
  bootupgrade -s -c u-boot


CLI output:
=========
root@Dions-box% bootupgrade -s -c u-boot
Checking secondary U-Boot CRC... OK 
root@Dions-box%


The following will upgrade the secondary from the shell:
===========================================
  bootupgrade -s -u <uboot-binary-file>

According to http://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB16317, the uboot is stored under the /boot directory. So the full path will be as follows:

   bootupgrade -s -u /boot/uboot -l /boot/loader


CLI output:
=========
root@Dions-box% bootupgrade -s -u /boot/uboot -l /boot/loader

After reboot:

Routing Engine 0 RE BIOS        0   2.4                 OK                
Routing Engine 0 RE BIOS Backup 1   2.4                 OK  

You SHOULD contact to JTAC to check it is a still valid workaround.
