Juniper srx320 clear system alarms

I need to set up some SRX320 for customer and the device’s alert light keeps showing red. Here is how to resolve it. If you have same alarm message.

To show what alarm the system is having is simple.

show system alarms

In my case, the output is like this.

Alarm time               Class  Description
2024-08-16 05:11:22 UTC  Minor  Autorecovery information needs to be saved
2024-08-16 05:11:21 UTC  Minor  Rescue configuration is not set

Is’t also simple to resolve, just run the following 2 command.

request system configuration rescue save 
request system autorecovery state save

Now, let dive into those alarm message.
“Autorecovery information needs to be saved” according to Juniper’s KB, it’s a feature that could resolved issues in the system. If the root cause is one of the following.

  • Disk partitioning corruption
  • Junos OS rescue configuration is corrupted and unable load to the device
  • Junos OS licenses corruption

“Rescue configuration is not set” according to Juniper’s documentation is a feature that could resolved configuration corrupting issue. That mean keep a known good configuration on the system and load that good configuration in the case of corrupted configuration.
