Chapter 10: Performing Software Upgrades and Reboots

Recovery software packages are available from the same location as J-series upgrade software packages. (See “Downloading Software Upgrades from Juniper Networks” on page 181.)

To recover an internal compact flash:

1.Plug the compact flash into a PCMCIA adapter or USB card reader.

2.Plug the PCMCIA adapter or USB card reader into the host PC and verify that the compact flash is recognized by the operating system.

3.Select the appropriate recovery software package according to the size of your compact flash. The uncompressed package must have the same size as the target compact flash capacity: 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB or 1024 MB. The recovery software package name indicates the size of the package. For information about recovery software package names, see “Upgrade and Downgrade Overview” on page 179.

4.Copy the software package to a temporary directory on the host PC and uncompress it with a compression utility, such as WinZip.

5.Copy the uncompressed software package from the temporary directory to the compact flash with one of the following commands:

CAUTION: You must use the correct target device name. Failure to do so might damage other storage devices connected to the host PC.

■On a UNIX PC, use the command dd if=filename of=/dev/device_name. Replace filename with the name of the uncompressed image, and device_name with the name of the unformatted PCMCIA card device. For example:

root# dd if=junos-jseries-7.0–20041028.0–export-cf128 of=/dev/hde
