Junos OS

Hello!
I am trying to recover my SRX1500 after replacing a faulty 16GB SSD. I am attempting to perform installations from a USB.

USB Media package name: junos-install-media-usb-srxentedge-x86-64-21.4R3-S4.9

I am encountering an error:

cp: cannot stat '/etc/init.d/syslog.rsyslog': No such file or directory

Junos installation disk is /dev/sdb
In my case /dev/sda is the 16GB mSATA Drive.
/dev/sdb is the USB Flash Drive.

Do i need the 120GB SSD Drive installed to install JunOS?

Hi,

Yes, you need SSD drive. This is how disks are partitioned in a running system from underlying Linux perspective:

Linux Running command: lsblk >
