Support Live Image Version 2.2 User's Guide

Overview

Support Live Image (SLI) is a CentOS 7.0 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 to run the tools and troubleshoot hardware related issues and gather system configuration information. The results of the diagnostic tests and configuration information are sent manually 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.
