vjunos-switch doesn't power off properly

[stoney66]

Your install is: Bare metal: Intel NUC12WSKi7 NUC
CPU model: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1260P
RAM: 64GB
HD: 1TB
Eve Version: 5.0.1-19-Community

When using "request system power-off" command, the device ends up at below and just spams the last line forever "128.0.0.1: No route to host". I end up having to stop the switch in eve-ng UI. When starting the host usually it has a disk issue, and I end up having to stop/wipe/start and re-paste my config it as this device doesn't seem to support startup-config like vMX/vQFX. I get this message but sometimes it does boot even after this message "Booting from Junos volume ... Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck."

I am using vJunos-switch-23.2R1.14 image.

It was known issue of that image and advices was given in the how to
If you want to keep this lab configured and work later, before stop the lab, please issue graceful power OFF command on vEX CLI

Code: Select all

root@vEX-1> request system power-off
Power Off the system ? [yes,no] (no) yes

wait for some time when node says:

Code: Select all

acpi0: Powering system off

Now you can safety stop the lab node.

Hi thanks for the info.

That is how I am powering off the vEX from CLI. Once I see the acpi0: Powering system off message then I stop the host in the eve UI. Sometimes though the device is corrupted when powering back on later and I have to wipe the node and put the config back.

in this case all questions to Juniper devs.
