[j-nsp] mx960 junos upgrade fail

[Olivier Benghozi]

Not sure you really can ISSU update between such versions...

About the OS file, you want vmhost 64bits.
The Net version is to freshinstall using PXE Netboot.

And the "64 Bit-MX High-End Series" is the one you would use with a RE-1800 (directly running JunOS over FreeBSD over its hardware), while you have a more recent one (like RE-MX-Xsomething), running JunOS over FreeBSD over KVM over Linux. In your case, this image can update only the JunOS+FreeBSD within the KVM, but it won't update the Linux/KVM stuff (named "vmhost").
