Description

This article explains how to determine whether SRX is using Dual Root Partition.

Solution

Starting in Junos OS Release 12.1X45, single root partitioning is not supported on SRX Series devices.

You can also verify this from the CLI.  The following output will appear if the system is running as dual root partition:

root@srx> show system snapshot media internal
