Solution

 To check if the host /var/diag_mode file exists, use the following command:

root@:RE:0% rsh -JU __juniper_private4__ 192.168.1.1 "ls /var/diag_mode"
/var/diag_mode
root@:RE:0%


Output above indicates that the file /var/diag_mode exists and therefore the undesired diag_mode is enabled.

To delete the host /var/diag_mode file, use the following command:

root@:RE:0% rsh -JU __juniper_private4__ 192.168.1.1 "rm /var/diag_mode"
root@:RE:0%


To verify the host /var/diag_mode file does not exist, use the following command:

root@:RE:0% rsh -JU __juniper_private4__ 192.168.1.1 "ls /var/diag_mode"
ls: cannot access /var/diag_mode: No such file or directory
root@:RE:0%


After the file is deleted, power cycle the system by gracefully powering it down using the command "request system power-off" and by powering it back on.
