This section is intended for advanced system administrators who need to incorporate the server-specific drivers into a Windows Imaging Format (WIM) image. WIM files are then installed using Windows Deployment Services (WDS).
Note - This section is not a tutorial on WDS; it provides guidance on how to incorporate the server-specific drivers into a WIM image.
The Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 distribution image contains the all the drivers required for initial installation. However, Sun recommends that the following server-specific drivers be incorporated into your WIM image to ensure you have access to the maximum feature set.
AMI Virtual Floppy driver
ATI display driver
LSI Fusion MPT RAID HBA driver
Proceed to the following sections to create and deploy your WIM image file.
