Junos_Install_Os Failed to upgrade the JUNOS Host Software

Running junos_install_os will successfully install the Junos Base OS Software Suite but its does not upgrade the Juniper Host Software in Juniper’s QFX Series switches.

Juniper’s Advanced JTAC Agent specified that this might create issues in the performance of the switch and it could be responsible for some of the problem we were having.

Example:

Hostname: tesw1 Model: qfx5100-48t-6q Junos: 14.1X53-D30.3 JUNOS Base OS Software Suite [14.1X53-D30.3] JUNOS Base OS boot [14.1X53-D30.3] JUNOS Crypto Software Suite [14.1X53-D30.3] JUNOS Online Documentation [14.1X53-D30.3] JUNOS Kernel Software Suite [14.1X53-D30.3] JUNOS Packet Forwarding Engine Support (qfx-ex-x86-32) [14.1X53-D30.3] JUNOS Routing Software Suite [14.1X53-D30.3] JUNOS SDN Software Suite [14.1X53-D30.3] JUNOS Enterprise Software Suite [14.1X53-D30.3] JUNOS Web Management Platform Package [14.1X53-D30.3] JUNOS py-base-i386 [14.1X53-D30.3] JUNOS Host Software [13.2X51-D25.2]

Normally, if I’d perform the upgrade by hand I will use the command

request system software add reboot no-validate force-host /var/tmp/jinstall.......

But I need this to be perform by the Ansible playbook that will provision new racks

Is there anyway to make the junos_install_os upgrade the host software as well?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

No problem I figured it out so I ran it and it successfully upgraded the Junos Host Software

These are the logs for the install

I really appreciate the help. Works great!

Are you going to implement it into the master branch?

Thank you very much and best regards,

@nzkller Sorry. I messed up the syntax for installing from a specific branch. Please try:

sudo ansible-galaxy remove Juniper.junos
sudo ansible-galaxy install  git+https://github.com/stacywsmith/ansible-junos-stdlib.git,force_host_arg,Juniper.junos
