Add Device Driver to the Boot WIM (Windows Server 2008 SP2 Only)

For Windows Server 2008 SP2 installations only, perform the following steps to add the appropriate PCIe SAS HBA LSI device driver (MegaRAID or MPT2) to the boot.wim image. If the required PCIe SAS HBA device driver (as described in Table 3 and Table 4) is not added to the boot.wim image, the Windows Server 2008 SP2 installation fails.

1. Insert the Windows Server 2008 SP2 DVD media into the DVD reader of the system that is hosting the Windows Deployment Services.
2. Perform the following to launch the Windows Deployment Services Administration tool and import the Windows Server 2008 SP2 Boot WIM.
   1. Choose Start > All Programs > Windows Deployment Services.
   2. Right-click Boot Images and select Add a Boot Image, then click Browse to specify the Windows Server 2008 SP2 boot WIM file (for example, DVDDrive:\sources\boot.wim)
   3. Click Open, and then click Next.
3. To import the Windows Server 2008 SP2 boot image, click Next twice, and then click Finish.
4. Disable the Windows Server 2008 SP2 boot WIM using the Windows Deployment Services Administration:

   Click and expand Boot Images, right-click Microsoft Windows Server (Setup) x64, then choose Disable.

5. Launch and run the Deployment Tools Command Prompt as Administrator:

   For example, click Start > All Programs > Microsoft Windows AIK, then right-click Deployment Tools Command Prompt, and choose Run as Administrator.

6. At the Deployment Tools command prompt, do the following:
   1. Use the mkdir command to create a temporary directory mount point to mount the Windows Server 2008 SP2 boot WIM image.

      For example:

      mkdir C:\Mnt

   2. Use the cd command to change the directory to the folder containing the Windows Server 2008 SP2 boot WIM.

      For example:

      cd DVDDrive:\RemoteInstall\Boot\x64\images

   3. Use the imagex command to mount the Windows Server 2008 SP2 boot WIM with read/write permissions to the temporary directory mount point, for example:

      imagex /mountrw boot.wim 2 C:\Mnt

   4. Use the cd command to change the directory to the device driver repository containing the Windows Server 2008 SP2 device driver for the Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA option (SG-SAS-R-INT-Z or SG-SAS-R-EXT-Z):

      For example, to change to the directory containing the LSI device driver for the Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA option (SG-SAS-R-INT-Z or SG-SAS-R-EXT-Z), type:

      cd C:\Unattend\Drivers\W2K8\lsi\1.19.2.64

   5. Use the peimg command to add the LSI MegaRAID device driver for the Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA option (SG-SAS-R-INT-Z or SG-SAS-R-EXT-Z) to the Windows Server 2008 SP2 boot WIM.

      For example, to add the LSI MegaRAID device driver for the Sun Storage 6 Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA option (SG-SAS-R-INT-Z or SG-SAS-R-EXT-Z), type:

      peimg /INF=*.inf C:\Mnt\Windows

   6. Repeat the peimg command for each additional device driver (as described in Table 4) that is required in the boot WIM image:

      • Sun Storage 6 Gb/s SAS PCIe HBA option (SG-SAS-INT-Z or SG-SAS-EXT-Z)

      • Intel network driver

   7. Use the imagex command to unmount and commit the modified Windows Server 2008 SP2 boot WIM.

      For example:

      imagex /unmount/commit C:\Mnt

7. To enable the Windows Server 2008 SP2 boot WIM image, do the following.
   1. Launch the Windows Deployment Services administration tool.

      Start > All Programs > Windows Deployment Services.

   2. In the Windows Deployment Services (WDS) administration tool, click and expand Boot Images.
   3. Right-click Microsoft Windows Server (Setup) x64 and choose Enable.

   The modifications to include the device drivers into the boot.wim image are complete.

8. Exit the Deployment Tools Command Prompt and the WDS administration tool.
