SRX

Dear all,

I have several devices SRX 240 with JUNOS Software Release [12.1X44-D40.2]. Only 2 from them have an issue. When I tried to enter command request system autorecovery state save every time I got error.

I tried to find useful information on the Internet, but could not find anything on this problem.
I would be glad for any help or any recommendations.
Thank you very much in advance.

How do you think if I will try to reinstall firmware - could it help and fix the problem ? 

For example I can upload a tgz firmware file on USB and via loader install it by command 

loader> install file://junos-****.tgz

Could it fix the problem or it will be useless ?

I've not seen these particular error messages before but they may be related to  disk errors on the device.

If so, you might be able to get a clean reformat using the following process.

• Insert a blank FAT formated USB and make a snapshot to the USB which will give a bootable full configuration
• Take the USB and add to this a copy of the installer for the desired Junos
• Reboot the SRX with the USB inserted so it boots from USB
• Do a format install to the internal drive while running from the USB to reformat the drive and get a fresh install.
• Copy the configuration file from the USB to the internal drive replacing the default configuration
• Shutdown the SRX and remove the USB then reboot to the newly formatted drive

Thank you so much for help! 

Do I understand correctly that I can exclude creating a snapshot and booting from USB and could get the same result ? 

1. I write to a usb flash drive 2 files <Junos package name> + <currentJunos.conf>. I insert the flash drive into Juniper.
2. I boot into bootload. I use the command loader> install --format file:///<Junos package name>
3. I transfer the configuration  file using an algorithm

root@SRX210-DST% mkdir bbbb
root@SRX210-DST% mount_msdosfs /dev/da1s1 bbbb
root@SRX210-DST% ls -l b
