  • 1.  Copy junos from primary to backup

    Posted 06-11-2018 03:31

    Hello,
    I have primary Junos running 15.x and backup image has 12.x version. How can I format/copy backup partition and copy 15.x to backup?

    The output is like this

    root> show system storage partitions
    fpc0:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Boot Media: internal (da0)
    Active Partition: da0s1a
    Backup Partition: da0s2a
    Currently booted from: active (da0s1a)

      Partition  Size   Mountpoint
      s1a        183M   /
      s2a        183M   altroot

      s3e        123M   /var
      s4d        62M    /config
      s4e               unused (backup config)

    Try this.

    labroot@jtac- # run request system snapshot slice alternate
    Doing the initial labeling...
    Verifying compatibility of destination media partitions...
    Running newfs (886MB) on internal media / partition (da0s2a)...
    Running newfs (93MB) on internal media /config partition (da0s2e)...
    Copying '/dev/da0s1a' to '/dev/da0s2a' .. (this may take a few minutes)
