Check the compatibility of the new version with the current configuration on the device.
Back up the currently running and active file system, which takes a snapshot of the file
system of the device in case you encounter problems with the new software version
and you need to revert to the current version of device software.
Alternatively, instead of accessing the Install Device Software wizard from the Device
Manager launchpad, do the following if you need to install device software on one selected
device:
From the device tree, right-click on the device in which you want to perform a software
1.
upgrade and select Software > Install Device Software. The Select Software Image
to install dialog box appears.
In the Select Software Image box, select the software image that you want to install
2.
and click Next. The View Selected Details dialog box appears.
Verify the details and click Finish.

NOTE: Do not change the name of the image file. The name of the image file must be
exactly the same as the filename that you download from Juniper Networks, for example,
ns5xp.4.0.3r2.0 or sensor_4_1r1.sh
When upgrading multiple device types, ensure that you have loaded the same version
of the image file for each type of device on the Device Server. For example, you can
upgrade the firmware on a NetScreen-208, a NetScreen-50, and a NetScreen-5XP at
the same time, but the image files for each device type must exist on the Device Server
and must be the same OS version.
When a new version of JUNOS is installed on a device, it internally transforms its
configuration to conform to the new version. At the end of the upgrade process, these
devices display their Config Status as
transformed configuration into NSM and then their Config Status becomes
Sync .
When upgrading software on your ScreenOS or IDP devices, you can use different methods
depending on the OS version running on the devices:
For devices running ScreenOS 5.x, the Device Server automatically uses Secure Server
Protocol (SSP) to load firmware onto your managed devices. SSP is the protocol used
for the management connection between the physical device and the NSM Device
Server.
For devices running IDP Sensor software, the Device Server uses SSH/SFTP to upload
and run the upgrade software. The Management Port on the IDP Sensor must be active
and reachable over the network via SSH.
Select the Automate ADM Transformation option to automatically update the Abstract
Data Model (ADM) when the firmware is loaded onto the managed device. If you deselect
this option, the firmware is loaded onto the device, but you cannot manage the device
from the UI until the ADM is updated. For example, you might want to deselect this option
.
