Stage an Image

The stage option is useful if you are using a low-bandwidth connection. On low bandwidth connections, manually staging a software image before deploying the image helps prevent the image deployment from timing out because of a slow connection. On high-bandwidth connections, you can choose to stage the image along with the image deployment.

When you stage a software image, the checksum of the image in Juniper Security Director is verified with the checksum of the image in the device. If the checksum of the image on the device does not match with the checksum in Juniper Security Director, the image copied on to the device is deleted and the image is copied again.

An administrator or a user with the privileges to add, stage, and deploy software images can stage an image.

Note:

You must stage or copy a software image onto a device before upgrading the software running on the device.
  1. Click SRX > Device Management > Software images.

    The Images page opens.

  2. Select the image, and click Stage.

    The Stage Image page opens.

    You can stage an image onto multiple devices simultaneously.

  3. Under Select Devices, select one or more devices to stage the image.
  4. In the Stage Image field, click:

    • Run Now to stage the image immediately.

    • Schedule Later to stage the image later, and specify the date and time when to stage the image.

  5. Click OK.

    • If you select Run Now, a job is initiated immediately to stage the image.

    • If you select Schedule Later, a job is initiated at the scheduled date and time to stage the image.

    Click Administration > Jobs to view the job.
