Important Notes
When the system is booted using the Support Live Image DVD or USB key, the image is copied
to the RAM.
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.
