[j-nsp] Creating an M7i boot PCMCIA card

[Lucio Fraile (CL/CEC)]

From, Junos Cookbook,

Create a PCMCIA boot flash card that contains the JUNOS install media.
First, copy the install media from the JUNOS software download page on
the Juniper Networks support site (http://www.juniper.net/support). 

On M-series and T-series routers, copy this file to the router's
/var/tmp directory. Then, insert a PC card into the router's drive and
copy the install media to the PC card:

	aviva at router1> start shell
	aviva at router1% cd /var/tmp
	aviva at router1% su
	root at router1%  
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rad3 count=20
	root at router1% dd if=install-media-7.4R1.7-domestic of=/dev/rad3
bs=64k

Regards

Lucio

If you look at the "jinstall" versions of JUNOS where you download
files, that will be the version for your CF/PCMCIA card.  And (if memory
serves) the instructions for imaging the CF (through the 'dd' program)
are posted at the download site.

HTH,

Scott

In the ongoing saga that is M7is and their harddrives, we've lost
another battle in the war.

I now have a working M7i, a broken M7i with a new harddrive and a 256M
PCMCIA flash card.

I'm trying to figure out how I create a bootable flash so that I can
boot up the broken router, and how I then reinstall JunOS onto the new
drive.

Does anyone have any hints/instructions on how exactly to do this? My
guess is it'll be something like the follow but I need details :)
a) Use working router to create bootable flash
b) Boot broken router from flash
c) Transfer JunOS from flash onto new HDD
d) Reboot broken router from HDD

Thanks in advance,
Ras
