From the Images dialog box, you can install software images that have been imported into the JUNOScope software and downloaded to a device or a group of devices. You can install an image previously downloaded onto a device (supported only for JUNOS software images) or use the image directly from the JUNOScope server.
Using Software Manager, the installation process occurs according to the installation options that you select; see Step item. If you select the Archive Data and Executable Areas (Snapshot) option, Software Manager performs a request system snapshot command before installing the software. If the command fails, the JUNOS software is not installed.
Once installation is complete, Software Manager reboots the device and reestablishes connection. Finally, Software Manager verifies that the software running on the device matches the software image installed.
