“Upgrading Software Packages” on page 57.
1.
2. Install Junos OS Release 12.2 or later and configure the dual-root partition.
user@host>request system software add junos-juniper-12.2R1.9-domestic.tgz
no-copy no-validate reboot
Copying package junos-juniper-12.2R1.9-domestic.tgz to var/tmp/install
Rebooting ...
Results In operational mode, confirm your configuration by entering the show system storage
command. If the output does not display the intended configuration, repeat the
configuration instructions in this example to correct it.
Sample output on a system with dual-root partitioning that displays information about
the root partition that is mounted (only one root partition is mounted at a point in time):

If you are done configuring the device, enter commit in configuration mode.
You can issue the fdisk command from the Junos prompt to display information about
the entire partition format on the NAND Flash device. All ACX Series routers run with
dual-root partitioning. The following example displays the partition details on an ACX
Series router with dual-root partitions:
