'commit confirmed' must be confirmed within duration minutes
A 'commit confirmed' operation has activated the candidate configuration temporarily. If the commit is not confirmed within the indicated number of minutes (for example, by the command-line interface (CLI) 'commit' command), the management process (mgd) will roll back to the previous configuration.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
notice
Skipped empty object 'node-name'
Some container objects are marked for automatic removal from the configuration hierarchy if they are empty when the user who created them changes to the top ([edit]) level of the hierarchy or exits configuration mode. While committing the candidate configuration, the management process (mgd) encountered such an object that was empty but not removed.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
info
When the commit operation began, the user who created the new container object had not populated it and was in configuration mode but not at the top level of the hierarchy.
Populate or remove the empty object before committing the configuration. The user who created the object can remove it by exiting configuration mode or issuing the 'top' command to move to the top level of the hierarchy.
Commit was not confirmed; message
The 'commit confirmed' operation commits a configuration but requires confirmation within a defined number of minutes for the commit to become permanent. If the commit is not confirmed (by the 'commit' command, for example), the management process (mgd) automatically rolls back to the previously committed configuration. The automatic rollback restores management access to the routing platform in case an error in the configuration blocks access.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
notice
Commit operation in progress: message
As it performed a commit operation, the management process (mgd) recorded its execution of the indicated step.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
info
Automatic rollback failed
The 'commit confirmed' operation commits a configuration but requires confirmation within a defined number of minutes for the commit to become permanent. If the commit is not confirmed (by the 'commit' command, for example), the management process (mgd) automatically rolls back to the previously committed configuration. The 'commit confirmed' operation was not confirmed, but mgd could not roll back the configuration. The configuration might be in an indeterminate state.
Error: An error occurred
error
The cause of the problem might be recorded in messages that precede this message in the system log.

Error: An error occurred
error
The database file is corrupted.
Contact your technical support representative.
Database header major version number mismatch for file 'filename': expecting expected-value, got received-value
For compatibility, the version number recorded in the header of the configuration database must match the version of JUNOS software running on the routing platform. The management process (mgd) discovered that the major parts (for example, '5' in '5.x') of the version numbers do not match.
Error: An error occurred
error

Contact your technical support representative.
Database header minor version number mismatch for file 'filename': expecting expected-value, got received-value
For compatibility, the version number recorded in the header of the configuration database must match the version of JUNOS software running on the routing platform. The management process (mgd) discovered that the minor parts (for example, '2' in 'x.2') of the version numbers do not match.
Error: An error occurred
error
A recent software upgrade did not complete successfully.
Issue the 'show version' command to check the JUNOS version. If necessary, issue the 'request system reboot' command to reboot the routing platform and complete the software installation.
The database file is corrupted.
Contact your technical support representative.
Database header sequence numbers mismatch for file 'filename'. If a package has just been added or deleted, please verify and commit the configuration.
The header of the configuration database records the version number of the configuration schema (possible set of statements) used when the database was created. To prevent corruption, all JUNOS processes that access the database must use the same schema. The management process (mgd) discovered that the version number for the JUNOS software installed on the routing platform does not match the header value.
Error: An error occurred
warning
A recent software upgrade did not complete successfully.
Issue the 'show version' command to check the JUNOS version. If necessary, issue the 'request system reboot' command to reboot the routing platform and complete the software installation.

Event: This message reports an event, not an error
alert
User 'username' attempting database re-creation
The management process (mgd) discovered that the version of JUNOS software running on the routing platform does not match the version of the current configuration database. In response to a prompt from mgd, the indicated user initiated a rebuilding of the database.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
notice

Error: An error occurred
warning
No master Routing Engine defined for LCClcc
By default, the JUNOS software installed on the TX Matrix platform in a routing matrix is automatically copied to and installed on all T640 routing nodes in the routing matrix. The software was not installed on the indicated T640 routing node (line-card chassis, or LCC), because the management process (mgd) on the TX Matrix platform could not determine which Routing Engine on the LCC was the master.

Schema is out of date and needs to be rebuilt
The JUNOS user interface schema file records all CLI commands and configuration statements available in the JUNOS software. While initializing, the new management process (mgd) determined that the schema's sequence number means that the schema is incompatible with the JUNOS software installed on the routing platform.
Error: An error occurred
alert
The schema is out of date.
None; mgd will rebuild the schema based on the current JUNOS version.
Schema major version mismatch for package package-name (expected-value vs. received-value)
The JUNOS user interface schema file records all CLI commands and configuration statements available in the JUNOS software. While initializing, the management process (mgd) discovered that the major part (for example, '5' in '5.x') of the schema version number does not match the major version number of the JUNOS software installed on the routing platform. The mismatch could lead to corruption of the configuration database.
Error: An error occurred
error
The schema is incompatible with the installed JUNOS software.
None; mgd will rebuild the schema based on the current JUNOS version.
An internal software failure occurred.
Contact your technical support representative.
Schema header sequence numbers mismatch for package package-name
The JUNOS user interface schema file records all CLI commands and configuration statements available in the JUNOS software. Schema sequence numbers serve as a checksum of the configuration data schema and ensure that the software used to access the database understands the data. The value in the database file did not match the expected value.
Error: An error occurred
error
The JUNOS software installation did not succeed, possibly because of an internal software error.
Contact your technical support representative.
Schema sequence number mismatch
The JUNOS user interface schema file records all CLI commands and configuration statements available in the JUNOS software. The management process (mgd) rebuilds the schema as necessary to be compatible with the JUNOS software installed on the routing platform. A sequence number in the schema acts as a checksum that represents its content and format. A JUNOS process attempted to access the schema but determined that the schema's sequence number means that it is incompatible with the process.
