1. Press Alt-F2 to access a user console, and then press Enter.
2. Open the log to check the contents for errors:

   less /bundleapplicationlogs/apply_components.log 

3. You can also view the script for the Hardware ISO, which is useful in helping to identify and troubleshoot log entries:

   less /opt/dell/toolkit/systems/drm_files/apply_bundles.sh

Results

The script attempts to configure several boot order commands, regardless of the hardware configuration of the VxFlex Ready Node server. This allows the script to support multiple hardware platform configurations.

Firmware updates may also display and log the following message:

This update is not compatible with your system configuration.

These firmware are included on the ISO in order to support various VxFlex Ready Node platforms. The log messages do not necessarily indicate a failure.
