I curse the bean counter that made the call that 2GB was sufficient storage and there should be no way to upgrade it when storage is so cheap these days. I was hoping that the internals would show that the 2GB storage was removable but no such luck. Has anybody had any luck into permanently making a USB drive the main storage so that this isn't a continuous issue. As far as I can tell, they just take up more space. I'm not sure what they were supposed to do but they didn't allow the upgrade to work. Show version does validate their presence. Somebody reported that unlike FTP or a USB drive, the file doesn't simply get copied to the destination but it must be unbelievable slow given the PPS limitation that I see on FTP and SSH transfers.Īny other suggestions to try? I did add the os-package.tgz and the package-hooks-ex.tgz via pkg add. The only thing that I haven't tried aside from zeroizing the switch or booting to a USB to do the same would be trying to upgrade from an HTTP server URL. If I try to upgrade another switch member from switch 0's /mfs directory, the first thing it does is copy the tgz file to the destination switch's /var/tmp directory which then creates a space issue. The process I'm using is: request system software add /mfs/junos-arm-32-18.2R3-S5.3.tgz force unlink no-validate no-copy member 0 The largest amount of free space that I have on any of the switches in the virtual chassis that I'm working on has 783M on /dev/gpt/junos but that's not enough space. I've tried installing from /tmp and from /mfs - still not enough room. I don't suppose I can delete all of those files on a running switch before the upgrade process? There are no old versions of software sitting in packages/db - just the current 18.2R3-S1 stuff. I've looked in the /var/log directory and deleted all of the large log files and the compressed backups. I've done the request system storage cleanup. This is the first time that I haven't been able to free up enough space. They were also supposed to have fixed the space issues with upgrades in 18.2R3-S1 but somehow made it worse. This should be an easy upgrade - same train just going from S1 to S5. I so hate that I purchased these switches. Time for another EX3400 upgrade and time for another headache.
