WARNING: Package 12.3X48-D10 is not compatible with this hardware.
WARNING: Please install an SRX image supported for 2G

This issue is tracked via PR 987067.
Solution:

There are two possible solutions available to work around this issue:

Solution 1) Use release 12.1X44-D40, 12.1X45-D30, 12.1X46-D25, 12.1X47-D10 or later releases as an interim release.

To use this solution, follow these steps:
  1. Install one of the above interim releases
  2. Reboot
  3. Install 12.3X48 release
Note: You may use regular means of installing the Junos software, e.g. the cli command request system software add or J-web or NSM/Space management platforms for this process.


Solution 2) Upgrade directly from an affected release to 12.3X48-D10 and above using a special script.

To use this solution perform the below steps:
  1. Download install script

  2. Place install script on SRX

  3. Open shell prompt and move to directory where install script was placed
  4. root@srx210HE2>start shell
    root@srx210HE2%cd /var/tmp

  5. Optionally verify integrity of install script placed on SRX
  6. root@srx210HE2%md5 package.tar.gz
    MD5 (package.tar.gz) = 29d1bb47845647aae1cec6b69fc6fb44

  7. Un-compress script
  8. root@srx210HE2% tar zxf package.tar.gz    (A new folder will be created called package)

  9. Change directory to new folder labeled package
  10. root@srx210HE2% cd package

  11. Install script
  12. root@srx210HE2% sh ./manifest.loader
    Verified manifest signed by PackageDevelopment_9_6_0

  13. Install 12.3X48 using install script, using optional -no-copy, -no-validate, -reboot commands
  14.      NOTE: This step cannot be done using normal CLI 'request system software upgrade' commands.
                    If using -reboot option, for automatic device reboot after upgrade, skip Steps 9 & 10

    root@srx210HE2%./package <–no-copy> <–no-validate> <–reboot> add <image location/name>
    Example: root@srx210HE2%./package -no-copy add /var/tmp/junos-srxsme-12.3X48-D10-domestic.tgz

  15. Exit Shell
  16. root@srx210HE2%exit
    root@srx210HE2>

  17. Reboot system at your convenience
  18. root@srx210HE2>request system reboot
    Reboot the system ? [yes,no] (no) yes
    Shutdown NOW!

  19. Verify upgrade version post reboot
  20. root@srx> show version
    Hostname: srx
    Model: srx210he2
    JUNOS Software Release [12.3X48-D10]
