[j-nsp] Juniper M20 with old JUNOS version gives upgrade problem

[Hyunseog Ryu]

You can use PCMCIA Flash Disk to burn install media, then install JUNOS 
using install media from scratch. 
Of course, it will blow up all configuration, but that's only way to get 
around this issue.

[j-nsp] Juniper M20 with old JUNOS version gives upgrade problem






Hi List,

We recently bought a Juniper M20 to expand our lab setup.
It runs JUNOS 5.5R2.3

I want it to upgrade it to JUNOS 9.0 however we started to archive JUNOS 
versions since 7.1R1.

However a request system software add validate reboot 
jinstall-7.1R1.3-export-signed.tgz gives the following error:

59627557 bytes transferred in 142.9 seconds (407.60 kBps)

/var/tmp/jinstall-7.1R1.3-export-signed.tgz

Ofcourse the difference between 7.1R1.3 and 5.5R2.3 is way to big, any 
idea 
how to get hands on a 6.x jinstall package?

As the router is only for our juniper lab we dont have it under contract 
so 
opening a JTAC ticket is not an option.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Leon
