We have been using EX4500 and EX4200 switches for several years. To upgrade Junos on these switches we have been:
- Using WinSCP to copy the .tgz file into /var/tmp
- Issuing this command
request system software add /var/tmp/<NameOfPackage.tgz> - Then this command
request system reboot all-members
We have a new EX4600 in production and after a bit of research it seems like I should add the force-host as shown below
request system software add /var/tmp/<NameOfPackage.tgz> force-host
Should I be adding the force-host at the end?
What exactly does the force-host do?
