What are two reasons for the failure?

You have installed a new IPS license on your SRX device and successfully downloaded the attack
signature database. However, when you run the command to install the database, the database
fails to install. What are two reasons for the failure? (Choose two.)

You have installed a new IPS license on your SRX device and successfully downloaded the attack
signature database. However, when you run the command to install the database, the database
fails to install. What are two reasons for the failure? (Choose two.)

A.
The file system on the SRX device has insufficient free space to install the database.

B.
The downloaded signature database is corrupt.

C.
The previous version of the database must be uninstalled first.

D.
The SRX device does not have the high memory option installed.

Explanation:

We don’t need to uninstall the previous version to install a new license, as we can update the
same. Reference:http://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB16491. Also high
memory option is licensed feature.
The only reason for failure is either there is no space left or downloaded file is corrupted due to
incomplete download because of internet termination in between.

Josh, seriously. Before giving a definite answer do some research. This is the 3rd incorrect answer that you give and that you say its definite. It is misleading to other people that come here. Back up your answers with documentation.
