Hello Community,
I recently purchased two external compact flash memory cards for an SRX650 chassis cluster.
Using a CF to USB convertor cable, I successfully managed to take a snapshot from the internal CF to USB (In this case the USB device was the compact flash memory cards purchased).
Once done, I inserted the CF cards in the CF slot of at the back of the SRX650s.
My confusion is however that the CF ACT LED at the back does no light when I insert the compact flash card.
From Junos documentation, I expected the following behaviour for the LED;
The CF ACT LED has the following indicator colors:
>Red and steadily on indicates that a CompactFlash is inserted and functioning normally.
>Red and blinking indicates that the CompactFlash is being accessed.
?Off indicates no CompactFlash is inserted
But the CF ACT LED remains off in my case even when the CompactFlash is inserted.
Also from the documentation for configuring external CompactFlash card for the SRX650, the below is mentioned;
By default, only the internal CF is enabled and an option to take a snapshot of the configuration from the internal CF to the external CF is not supported. This can be done only by using a USB storage device.
So does the CF ACT LED in my case remain off because the external CF is disabled by default or am I missing something ?
Kindly help me understand (Junos version is 12.3X48-D30.7, chassis is SRX650)
