Known Behavior

This section contains the known behavior, system maximums, and limitations in hardware and software in Junos OS Release 15.1F5 for the PTX Series.

• General Routing

General Routing

• The following request commands are not available for the Routing Engine RE-PTX-X8-64G on the PTX5000:
  • request system halt
  • request system partition
  • request system power off
  • request system power on

  The scope of functionality of the following commands is limited to Junos OS guest level:

  • request system reboot
  • request system snapshot
  • request system software add
  • request system zeroize

  You can use the following equivalent request vmhost commands to achieve the functionality:

  • request vmhost cleanup
  • request vmhost file-copy
  • request vmhost halt
  • request vmhost hard-disk-test
  • request vmhost power-off
  • request vmhost power-on
  • request vmhost reboot
  • request vmhost snapshot
  • request vmhost software abort
  • request vmhost software add
  • request vmhost software in-service-upgrade
  • request vmhost software rollback
  • request vmhost zeroize

  The output of following show commands are modified for the Routing Engine RE-PTX-X8-64G:

  • show chassis environment routing-engine
  • show chassis hardware
  • show chassis hardware extensive
  • show chassis routing-engine
  • show system software

  The following new show commands are introduced for the Routing Engine RE-PTX-X8-64G:

  • show vmhost bridge
  • show vmhost crash
  • show vmhost hardware
  • show vmhost information
  • show vmhost logs
  • show vmhost netstat
  • show vmhost processes
  • show vmhost resource-usage
  • show vmhost snapshot
  • show vmhost status
  • show vmhost uptime
  • show vmhost version

  The following new configuration statements are introduced for the Routing Engine RE-PTX-X8-64G:

  • edit vmhost
  • edit system processes app-engine-virtual-machine-management-service
• During deletion and restoration of scaled configurations on PTX5000, error messages related to next hops are displayed.
• The guest Junos OS and the host OS on the PTX5000 use different time zones. Therefore, there is a difference between the timestamps in the system log files of Junos OS and the host OS. As a workaround, you can calculate the current difference between the time zones used by Junos OS and the host OS and work with logs that show this difference in time.
• The configuration of the smartd process, which monitors the status of the disk on the host OS of the PTX5000, is not deleted completely even after you delete the configuration. When you configure the smart check feature, smartd continues to use parameters that were configured previously. Therefore, while enabling smart check, remember to configure the threshold values for smartd instead of retaining the default values that were previously configured.
• In a dual Routing Engine system, while Junos OS has just started booting in the master Routing Engine, the backup Routing Engine might be powered off if it is removed and reinserted.

  As a workaround, plug in the backup Routing Engine after the master Routing Engine is running and stable and all the FPCs are in operational state. If the other Routing Engine gets powered off accidentally, issue the command request chassis cb slot number power off and request chassis cb slot number power on to turn the power on the Routing Engine. The slot number signifies the Routing Engine that has to be powered on.
