Installing Software Packages
■
The current SRX210 documentation does not include the following information:
On SRX210 devices, the
/var
hierarchy is hosted in a separate partition (instead
of the
root
partition). If JUNOS Software installation fails as a result of insufficient
space:
1.
Use the
request system storage cleanup
command to delete temporary files.
2.
Delete any user-created files in both the
root
partition and under the
/var
hierarchy.
■
The “Installing Software using the TFTPBOOT Method on the SRX100, SRX210,
and SRX650 Services Gateway” section in the
JUNOS Software Administration
Guide
contains the following inaccuracies:
■
The documentation incorrectly implies that the TFTPBOOT method requires
a separate secondary device to retrieve software from the TFTP server.
■
The documentation should indicate that the TFTPBOOT method does not
work reliably over slow speeds or large latency networks.
■
The documentation indicates that before starting the installation, you only
need to configure the gateway IP, device IP address, and device IP netmask
manually in some cases, when actually you need to configure them manually
in all cases.
■
The documentation should indicate that on the SRX100, SRX210, and SRX240
devices, only the
ge-0/0/0
port supports TFTP in uboot, and on the SRX650
device, all front-end ports support TFTP in uboot.
■
Step 2 of the “Installing JUNOS Software Using TFTPBOOT” instructions
should mention that the URL path is relative to the TFTP server’s TFTP root
directory. The instructions should also mention that you should store the
JUNOS Software image file in the TFTP server’s TFTP root directory.
■
The documentation should indicate that the TFTPBOOT method installs
software on the internal flash on SRX100, SRX210, and SRX240 devices,
whereas on SRX650 devices, the TFTP method can install software on the
internal or external CompactFlash card.

The
JUNOS Software Administration Guide
is missing the following information
about installing software using USB on SRX100, SRX210, SRX240, and SRX650
devices:
You can install or recover the JUNOS Software using USB on SRX100, SRX210,
SRX240, and SRX650 devices. During the installation process, the installation
package from the USB is installed on the specified boot media.
Before you begin the installation, ensure the following prerequisites are met:
■
U-boot and Loader are up and running on the device.
■
USB is available with the JUNOS Software package to be installed on the
device.
