How To Install Olive 12.1R1.9 With Qemu
The article describes installation of Junos 12.1R1.9 on emulated x86 hardware. Hardware is emulated by Qemu and Junos installed on it is known as Olive.
As Olive does not have Packet Forwarding Engine PFE attached, packet forwarding is exclusively depending on performance of the host CPU. In addition, they are also configurations known as not working on Olive. Considering these limits, Olive can never substitute real Juniper hardware.
In spite all of that Olive is an excellent tool for testing configurations that can be later deployed on real Juniper hardware. Thanks to GNS3 project that offers lightweight GUI for Qemu, complex labs can be easily deployed without real need of knowing Qemu commands.
My goal was to rewrite these articles for actual Junos 12.1R1.9 version and create a guide that helps you to install Junos. Please use links above if you feel that you need to clarify details or further explanation.

Updating JunOS
You can update your version of JunOS from the CLI with the following command:
request system software add [jinstall_package]
Running your router(s)
Now you have a base olive image. Qemu allows you to use this as a base for other images and only writing the changes to your “slave” images saving on disk space! You can also use less memory for each Qemu instance.
Create a new image off of your base image. Repeat for all your routers you want to emulate:
qemu-img create -b olive-base.img -f qcow2 R1.img
Start your router and then telnet to it:

How To - Step By Step Installation of JunOS on GNS3 [Part 1]
This article explain you how to emulate Juniper JunOS on a PC using Qemu. This is an updated and enhanced version of excellent howtos from Juniper Clue and Internetwork Pro as well asHimawan Nugroho’s blog. I mainly focused on Qemu, so if you wish to install JunOS on a real PC or using VMware, please have a look at the Juniper Clue article for more information (and of course Google).
So what’s new you would say? First, I chose to use the latest version of Qemu: the 0.11.0 which supports the Intel e1000 network card emulation since version 0.10.0. and includes several fixes for it. I have modified and adapted the old patch for Qemu 0.11.0, it includes the UDP tunnel (connection to Dynamips/GNS3), PCAP and LCAP support. Also, the patch allows multicast traffic with the e1000, i82557b and i82559er Qemu emulated network cards. Moreover, this article show how to emulate JunOS on multiple operating systems: Mac OS X, Windows XP and Linux Ubuntu 9.04 without using an untrustworthy obscure binary downloaded from a forum you can’t even read the language

How To - Multiple Olives On One Box Using Vmware
Creating virtual serial ports for telnet access (so no physical com port access required)...
Having one Olive box is great for CLI familiarity but multiple Olives interacting with each other is the only way to really get to grips with the routing protocols and route filtering techniques. Once one Olive session is fully built, it's a piece of cake to mirror this so you can have 2 or 3 or more (resources dependant) on one box. The main limiting factor of this approach is the lack of physical serial ports on the server. Mine only has a single COM1. To get round this, I used the FREEWARE HW Virtual Serial Port v2.5.10 software from HW-group. Using the command line (or creating shortcuts in the Windows user profile startup folder so it was persistent), I created 3 new virtual serial ports that were setup as telnet servers (COM2 on port 2009, COM3 on port 2010, COM4 on port 2011) so I can telnet to these and be "attached" to the various Olive console ports. Yes, this does mean my doctoring of the cable above was interesting, but not entirely necessary.

How To - Installation of J-Web (Allows Web Based Administration Of Olive)
J-series Juniper routers automatically come bundled with J-Web (click here for the complete J-Web 8.3 PDF user guide - 1.81 MB). When an Olive is built, the software believes it is an M series device, and does not install J-Web, however if you have the install module, it's a piece of cake. I have installed J-web 8.3 to each of my Olive virtual machines and the process is as follows:
How To - Install JunOS on Vmware [Updated]
Olive is a machine that run JunOS not in Juniper machine. Not like Cisco IOS that have Dynamips as ready to use IOS simulator, there is no ready to use JunOS simulator. Fortunately, JunOS runs on top of FreeBSD machine, so that we can simulate by install it on FreeBSD machine. So, to whom that want to learn JunOS, or want to take JNCIE :), but do not have Juniper machine, Olive is the solutions. This procedure will explain how to install JunOS in VMWare or Olive.
Here are you need to prepare, FreeBSD image, VMWare, and Junos image itself. Follow steps below for installing Olive.
HOWTO: Juniper Olive using VMware
I recently joined a new company, I have been asked to start certifying myself for Juniper Networks. My goal for next year is to become JNCIA, JNCIS & possibly JNCIP certified. Because I’ve already got allot of experience with the various protocols out there I don’t see getting the JNCIA & JNCIS certification to be an issue. For the JNCIP however, I need to really get my hands-on up to speed. This is why I decided to install Olives again, but this time by making use of VMware and one really big computer
I hope you’ll find this guide usefull, if it is ever found out there
Because JUNOS software is not freeware, I will not make my virtual Olives available for download. You should be working for a company with a Juniper Networks support-contract so you can download JUNOS from their website.
