get jinstall-8.5R1.4-domestic-signed.tgz

#mkdir jinst-signed

#cd jinst-signed

#tar xvfz ../jinstall-8.5R1.4-domestic-signed.tgz

#mkdir jinst

#cd jinst

#tar xvfz ../jinstall-8.3R1.4-domestic.tgz

#mkdir pkgtools

#cd pkgtools

#tar xvfz ../pkgtools.tgz

#cd bin

#cp /usr/bin/true checkpic

#cd ..

#tar zcvf ../pkgtools.tgz *

#cd ..

#rm -rf pkgtools

Clone hard disk created in format 'VDI'. UUID: 564eefe7-350f-42a3-bfd2-bb967d2f998e

3.1 New VM name JuniperOlive_R2, JuniperOlive_R3 and select harddisk from clone

3.2 Config VirtualBox JuniperOlive_R2, JuniperOlive_R3 details same JuniperOlive_R1

- Set Serial ports path different from R1, such as path: /tmp/olive2, /tmp/olive3

4. Start Olive
