-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Tommy,
I am aware of what this command does up to the point where it changes something on the compact flash which makes it bootable again. I reckon it repartitions it and copies the necessary files? Until now, that command struck me as a backup mechanism. I presume there's more behind it. Digging a bit further I stumbled across https://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/junos94/swcmdref-basics-services/request-system-snapshot.html Below "Options" the "partition" parameter is listed. Wild guess: this is run automatically when the CF is faulty? (still assuming that it actually was the problem) For the upgrade I went through what's des- cribed at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/junos94/swconfig-install/installing-the-software.html At the bottom it tells me to 'request system snapshot' but that looks like optional not mandatory to me, at least when it comes to getting the router back to an operational status. For now, I will just remember that command as magic knob which fixes things. To avoid this happening in the future: is there a best practice to upgrade the soft- ware or does the documented procedure usu- ally work?
