Configuring the CompactFlash Card
After installing the CompactFlash card for the first time, you must copy the software
from the Routing Engine's hard disk to the CompactFlash card.
To copy software to the CompactFlash card:
1. Install the CompactFlash card and replace the Routing Engine as described in “Inserting
the CompactFlash Card” on page 106 and “Installing the Routing Engine in a M7i Router”
on page 102.
2. On the console or other management device connected to the Routing Engine, enter
CLI operational mode and issue the following command to copy the currently running
and active file system partitions on the router to standby partitions on the
CompactFlash card.
user@host> request system snapshot partition
Wait until a message appears on the console confirming that the procedure is
complete.
For more information about the command, see the Junos OS System Basics and Services
Command Reference.
3. Issue the following command to reboot the router's software:
user@host> request system reboot
The CompactFlash card will now be the primary boot device.
4. You can verify correct boot order by issuing the show system boot-messages command.
The output lists the devices mounted. The CompactFlash card is located at ad0.
For more information about the command, see the Junos OS System Basics and Services
