ex3300 Boot from backup even when repaired

  • 1.  ex3300 Boot from backup even when repaired

    Posted 01-14-2025 15:55

    Good morning I am trying to repair the primary boot partition on a Juniper ex3300 that is in a VC. There are 2 switches that are booted from the backup.

    I issued the: request system snapshot slice alternate member 1/3 command for members 1 and 3.

    Then I ran: request system reboot slice alternate media internal member 1/3 To reboot the switches.

    Once the switches are back up they are still booting from the backup partition.

    show chassis alarms

    I checked the snapshot media of both switches and the primary shows it was created today.

    show system snapshot media internal member 3

    I also tried to just reboot the switches using the request system reboot member 1/3 but with no luck. I've done this on other switch stacks and the switches booted back to the primary just fine not too sure why this stack is causing problems.

    Not sure if this is even helpful, but on another switch, I ran the request system snapshot slice alternate member 1 command and didn't request a reboot, I changed a vlan on an interface and the member 1 rebooted back to the primary when it was on the backup. (also tried this on the stack giving me problems)

    Juniper Doc that Ive been using to accomplish this: [EX] Switch boots from backup root partition after file system corruption occurred on the primary root partition
