vMX

Hi,

We have tried this :

https://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB29811

The device boots normally but cant find how to force copy the snapshot on the usb to the nand flash.

entering :"request system snapshot media partition " doesnt do anything and the MX will boot from the usb or it wont boot at all and you get stuck at loader.

How can i check the integrity of the nand flash and force copy the snapshot from the usb to the nand flash?

Thx.

 

 

Hi Willian,

Please follow the following KB for MX5

https://kb.juniper.net/KB32364

 

Please mark my response as solution if it solves your query, kudos are appreciated too!

Thanks
Vishal

Thx but by that Kb

i should get the error :

> request system snapshot 
error: usb media missing or invalid

but instead this is what i get:

 jun@juniper> request system snapshot
Doing the initial labeling...
Verifying compatibility of destination media partitions...
error: cannot mount /dev/da1s1a

 

what could i try next?

Hi Willian, Please try following steps: 1) Format the USB stick that you are using 2) Plus it again and try <REQUEST system="" snapshot=""> 3) If it doesn’t work try to mount it, once done try taking snapshot again >start shell user root mount -t msdosfs /dev/da1s1a /mnt 4) If its mounted and you see some other error, please try following to correct error and then try snapshot %fsck -y /dev/da1s1a If above doesn’t work please share following output along with above observation. show system storage start shell sysctl -a | grep bootdevs mount Thanks Vishal </REQUEST>

Previous response got jumbled up so posting it again

Please try following steps:

1) Format the USB stick that you are using
2) Plug it again and try the snapshot
3) If it doesn’t work try to mount it, once done try taking snapshot again

>start shell user root

mount -t msdosfs /dev/da1s1a /mnt

4) If its mounted and you see some other error, please try following to correct error and then try snapshot

%fsck -y /dev/da1s1a

If above doesn’t work please share following output along with above observation.
show system storage
start shell
sysctl -a | grep bootdevs
mount

Thanks
Vishal

Thx in advance for the help. 

Do you see some error when trying to mount?

>start shell user root

mount -t msdosfs /dev/da1s1 /mnt

Can you please share "show system boot-message" & "show version"

Thanks
Vishal

See below:

Do you have any link to a storage replacement procedure?

Unfortunately, RE as a whole needs to be replaced in such cases. For MX5 RE is inbuilt so midplane/chassis (except the OPTICS MIC POWER CABLE FAN TRAY ETC.) will need to be replaced Thanks Vishal
