Start the IBM WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition virtual image. The owner of all preinstalled IBM WebSphere software is the non-root operating system user named virtuser. To access the operating system environment, you must use the command-line interface through SSH. The x server package is not installed into the operating system. The image is packaged within a single open virtualization appliance (OVA). Only the WebSphere Cloudburst Appliance can provision the image. For details on provisioning the image, refer to the WebSphere Cloudburst Appliance 1.1 documentation.
