request system software in-service-upgrade (Maintenance)

Syntax

Description

The in-service software upgrade (ISSU) feature allows a chassis cluster pair to be upgraded from supported Junos OS versions with a traffic impact similar to that of redundancy group failovers. Before upgrading, you must perform failovers so that all redundancy groups are active on only one device. We recommend that graceful restart for routing protocols be enabled before you initiate an ISSU.

For SRX300, SRX320, SRX340, SRX345, and SRX380 devices, you must use the no-sync parameter to perform an in-band cluster upgrade (ICU). This allows a chassis cluster pair to be upgraded with a minimal service disruption of approximately 30 seconds.

For SRX1500, SRX4100, and SRX4200 devices, the no-sync parameter is not supported when using ISSU to upgrade. The no-sync option specifies that the state is not synchronized from the primary node to the secondary node.

For SRX1500 devices, the no-tcp-syn-check parameter is not supported when using ISSU to upgrade.

Options

  • image_name—Specify the location and name of the software upgrade package to be installed.

  • no-copy—(Optional) Install the software upgrade package but do not save the copies of package files.

  • no-old-master-upgrade—(Optional) Do not upgrade the old primary after switchover.

    This parameter applies to SRX5400, SRX5600, and SRX5800 devices only.

  • no-sync—(Optional) Stop the flow state from synchronizing when the old secondary node has booted with a new Junos OS image.

    This parameter applies to SRX300, SRX320, SRX340, SRX345, and SRX380 devices only. It is required for an ICU.

  • no-tcp-syn-check—(Optional) Create a window wherein the TCP SYN check for the incoming packets is disabled. The default value for the window is 7200 seconds (2 hours).

    This parameter applies to SRX300, SRX320, SRX340, SRX345, and SRX380 devices only.

  • no-validate—(Optional) Disable the configuration validation step at installation. The system behavior is similar to that of the request system software add command.

    This parameter applies to SRX300, SRX320, SRX340, SRX345, and SRX380 devices only.

  • status—(Optional) Display the status of a unified ISSU during the upgrade. You will need to run this command on the Routing Engine where the ISSU was triggered to display the correct ISSU log file.

    This parameter applies to SRX1500, SRX4100, SRX4200, SRX4600, SRX5400, SRX5600, and SRX5800 devices only.

  • unlink—(Optional) Remove the software package after successful installation.
