Support Live Image (SLI) Version 2.1 Release Notes Release Notes Support Live Image Support Live Image is CentOS 6.2 image that packages a collection of utilities and diagnostic tools for Dell PowerEdge servers, Dell PowerEdge C servers, and Dell PowerVault storage systems. It provides an environment for the tools to run to troubleshoot hardware-related issues and gather system configuration information. The results of the diagnostic tests and configuration information are sent to the technical support team to identify and resolve an issue. Support Live Image is primarily used by Dell Service Providers (DSP), and in some cases, customers instructed by the Dell Technical Support. If a Dell customer contacts Dell Technical Support for a hardware issue that requires a part replacement, the replacement part is dispatched to the customer through the DSP. After replacing the part, if the DSP finds that the issue is not fixed, the DSP works with technical support to troubleshoot and resolve an issue.

If booting with less than 8 GB of RAM, potential risk exists for filling the read-write overlay (device-mapper snapshot) and preventing most system operations. If this is encountered, reboot the Support Live Image. When booting to the Support Live Image, by default the system boots to the CentOS graphical user interface (GUI) desktop automatically. If you want to boot to the MS-DOS mode, press any key when the automatic boot countdown timer is displayed.. When the system is booted using the Linux-Based Diagnostic tools option, by default you are logged on as sliuser. The password required to login to the 'root' account (for example, for use with ssh or OMSA) is dell. By default, secure shell (SSH) is enabled for both root accounts. There is no firewall configured on the system and selinux is disabled. Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) can be launched by the icon on the desktop or by using https://localhost:1311. To login, use the username: root and the password: dell. - You may need to disable Firefox Offline Mode. - Follow the self-signed certification exception process: 1. In the This connection is Untrusted window, click I Understand the Risks 2. In the I understand the Risks section, click Add Exception 3. In the Add Security Exception dialog box, click Get Certificate 4. Click Confirm Security Exception The NetworkManager configures networking through DHCP when booted to the CentOS environment. If you need to set static IP(s), configure the IP from the NetworkManager applet or stop the NetworkManager and configure networking using command line interface (CLI). Connection through VNC to display: 0 is available when booted to the SLI environment. To run DSET, double-click the DSET icon on the SLI desktop. Partitions and logical volume file systems (ntfs, vfat, ext2,and ext3) on the local disks are automatically mounted as read-only during boot. If you want to write to the local file system, such as editing configuration files on the local file system, you must manually mount the local file system as read-write. Provide the parameters 'nolvmmount' and 'nodiskmount' during booting to prevent automatic mounting of the local file system. Yum may be used to install additional packages from public Linux repositories. Most common CentOS6 commands and utilities are available. The following are the DOS-Based Diagnostics tools available: - Dell MPMemory is included with the diagnostics for Dell 9G-11G servers - 32 Bit diagnostics is included with the diagnostics for Dell 9G-11G servers - Dell Loop MPMemory is included with the diagnostics for Dell 9G-11G servers - Dell Asset Tag Utility for Dell 9G-12G servers.
