JunOS : Member’s information missing from provisioning database

By | June 28, 2014

The following error may occur importing an existing configuration from an EX virtual chassis member to another :

re0: (vccpd): [member]: Member’s information missing from provisioning database
re0: configuration check-out failed

This is probably because you haven’t changed the device(s) serial numbers with the ones matching your new device. Edit the configuration file and replace the serial number(s) of the following statement(s) :

set virtual-chassis member <MEMBER_ID> serial-number <DEVICE_SERIAL_NUMBER>

You can get the serial number of your new device using the following command using the CLI mode :

show chassis hardware
