Upgrading the Device Software Version

262
You can use NSM to upgrade or adjust the software on any managed device running
ScreenOS, IDP 4.1 or later, Junos, SA or IC..
NSM does not support the upgrade of NetScreen-500 and ISG2000 security devices
from ScreenOS 5.1 to ScreenOS 5.2. This migration requires a boot-ROM upgrade; for
more details, refer to the ScreenOS 5.2 Migration Guide.
When a software upgrade is applied to a Junos device with dual Routing Engines, the
upgraded software is applied to both Routing Engines. The backup is upgraded first. The
router then reboots and the backup becomes the master. Then the former master is
upgraded, as is the standard procedure for upgrading Junos devices with dual Routing
Engines.
Upgrading the operating system is a three-step process:
Download the new software image file from the Juniper Networks website to your
1.
computer running the client UI.
Copy the image file to a repository on the GUI server using the NSM Software Manager,
2.
which you access from the Device Manager launchpad by selecting Manage Device
Software (Select Tools > Software Manager from the menu bar).
The Software Manager lists all software image files in the repository. To add the one
you just downloaded, click the Add icon, navigate to the software image file you just
downloaded, and then click Open.
Select the software image file you want to install and the devices you want to install
3.
it on using the Install Device Software wizard, which you access from the Device
Manager launchpad by selecting Install Device Software (Select Devices > Software
> Install Device Software).
When you use the Install Device Software wizard, you need to specify the device family
by selecting the OS name. All software image files available for the selected OS are then
listed for you to choose from. Next, select the devices you want to install the software
image file on. When installing software on Junos devices, ensure that the devices you
select are in the Managed, In Sync state. The wizard responds by informing you that it is
ready to perform the upgrade, or with an error message if the upgrade is not allowed.
You can also choose from a list of additional options:
Reboot the device after successful installation.
Remove the software image file from the device after successful installation in order
to save space on the device.
