Has anyone tried to install for example
install-media64-10.4R3.4-export? I tried to install this on
M10i(RE-850, Intel Pentium III i686) with not much luck as I ended up
in debugging subshell:

ERROR: Package jbundle is not compatible - amd64 vs {i386}
ERROR: jbundle-10.4R3.4-export fails requirements check
Running pre-install for jbundle-10.4R3.4-export...
ERROR: Package jbundle is not compatible - amd64 vs {i386}
ERROR: jbundle-10.4R3.4-export fails pre-install
ERROR: addpackage: error during pkg_add /var/tmp/jbundle64-10.4R3.4-export.tgz
You are now in a debugging subshell (you may not see a prompt)...

It was rather expected as PIII should have no 64bit support.

Which platforms support 64bit JUNOS? Has anyone successfully installed
64bit JUNOS?


regards,
martin

Hi Marting

I believe this image is supported on the new RE-S-1800's as well at the
JCS. I does not work on the m10i.

You can buy "large memory" REs for MX and some other platforms, e.g.

RE-S-1800X4-16G-R Routing Engine - Quad Core 1800Ghz with 16G Memory,
Redundant RE, for MX

This is what you need 64 bit JunOS for.

Hi Martin,

From the price-list of today, I have been reviewing that there are only RE
of 64bit for T1600 and T640. These are the models of RE's:

RE-DUO-C1800-8G-BB Routing engine with dual core 1800MHz processor, SSD
and 8GB memory, Base Bundle T1600, T640 RE-DUO-C1800-8G-R Routing engine
with dual core 1800MHz processor, SSD and 8GB memory, Redundant T1600, T640
Both RE need JunOS 9.6 or higher.

Best regards,

The 64-bit versions of Junos are the for the new routing engines for the MX series. They're coming with 64-bit processors and SSD hard drives.

The download page should probably note this better; right now, the 64
bit image is first in the list and says it works on M and MX (not just
some models).

No need to install in on M10i just because it has a 1-core 32-bit CPU and
less (much less :) than 4GB of RAM which you can address (the only advantage
of 64-bit JUNOS by now) with x64. So even if you'd managed to push it into
RE-850, it wouldn've given you anything.
