ERROR: Unsupported platform srx210h for 12.1X47 and higher

This is the error that you will get if you try and install 12.1X47 on a Juniper SRX 210H (or 100B, 100H or any "first gen" srx).

From reading:

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos12.1x47/information-products/topic-collections/release-notes/12.1x47/index.html?topic-87511.html

"Note: Upgrading to Junos OS Release 12.1X47-D10 or later is not supported on the J Series devices or on the low-memory versions of the SRX100 and SRX200 lines."

I thought maybe it would just be the base memory devices e.g SRX100B or SRX210B but it looks like any SRX device with 512MB or 1GB ram are not supported.

This is a shame as for example the SRX110H devices weren't that old and supported removable/upgradable CF cards. Even the SRX240B2 is not supported! You need 2GB of ram.

The ASA5505 is good example of a device designed to last. Pity I like JunOS so much!

I have a couple of SRX240Hs, these allow you to upgrade the ram (standard DDR2), so I wonder if an upgraded 240H will work.

I just wrote a DNS testing tool. :)

Now connected to DN42.net!

Happy to peer if anyone else wants to connect. Currently running vyos and can do OpenVPN or IPsec+Gre.

Based in Sydney.

 My current networking lab setup for testing a new network design including OSPF, BGP & IPsec route based VPNs.

From top to bottom:

• The imposter, a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite!
• Juniper SSG 5 (extended license )
• Juniper SRX 100 (base memory )
• Juniper SSG 20 (not currently being used)
• Juniper SRX 110H (older 1GB ram model)
• Juniper SRX 210H-POE (pretty old slow beast with 1GB ram and a lowly 400MHz CPU). I still run a standard 210H at home, one day I'll get the 210H2....

Yay Debian 7 is out.

Nothing too major to report, I've only updated one VM at this stage (was very easy).

PHP 5.4 is nice to have. I'll be rolling out a number of upgrades and new VMs with it in the coming weeks so I'll see how it goes.

For servers (PHP Web Servers, MySQL, DNS, Subversion etc) Debian is my current favourite OS. It is so easy to manage and upgrade.

My current break down of operating systems is:

• Mac OS for desktop/laptop
• ESXi for VMs (actually running Hyper-V at home)
• Debian for most servers (where the software doesn't require windows).
• Windows 2008 R2 & SBS 2011 for small business servers, terminal servers & required apps
• Windows 7/8 for business workstations
• FreeBSD for ZFS storage. Although I really need to see if I can do Debian + ZFS as I really like Debian.

About time is all I can say!

Still needs some work but yeah it works :D

Responsive too.

Future home.

We're about to replace (or add not sure yet) a server in the data centre.

The previous servers are 1RU ASUS Quad Xeons with 16GB Ram (photo). They were okay for the price but pretty cheap machines.

The new one is a Dell *shock*

• Dell R420 (still 1RU)
• Dual PSU
• 32GB Ram (supports up to 384GB, yeah my old computer had 384MB of ram)
• 2x Hex Core Xeon with HT (so 24 logical cores). 15MB of L3 cache on each chip!
• Space for 8 2.5" HDDs.
• H710P 1GB Raid Controller (will be using Raid 10).
• iDrac 7 Enterprise (this is pretty cool compared to the very basic system in the ASUS).

Just doing some final testing and waiting for Debian 7 before I install it. This plus the new subnets should make the setup pretty sweet.

I've been working on it for the last few months and it is now pretty awesome.
