Hello, I have been trying to upgrade an MX240 from JUNOS: 13.3R3.6 to JUNOS: 17.4R2.4 via USB.
I'm running into an issue where the .tgz file is unable to be copied or seen by the machine. I've tried just about everything I can think of but am still unable to get it recognize the file.
I was able to copy over a .txt file from the USB so I know that it is at least able to read/write.
One error that keeps coming up is "
Value too large to be stored in data type" but our system has 30G of free memory, so I'm not sure where that's coming from.
I'm pretty new to Juniper and Networking in general so please forgive me if this isn't making sense / in the wrong place.
I've also added a more in depth view at my procedure/setup if that helps:
MX240 - Failed OS upgradeThanks in advance!
Proof the file exists on the USB:
root@% ls /var/tmp/usb

Tried copying from root:

Tried copying from cli:
