Sun Fire X2270 M2 Server Service Procedures and Information
Note - The following examples are from the Sun Fire X2270 M2 Server Tools and Drivers CD, depending on your server model, the file paths might differ.
Tools & Drivers CD/DVD Windows 2008 64-bit files: cdromdrive:\Windows\W2K8\Drivers\64bit\Display\Aspeed ...\NIC\Intel ...\Chipset\Intel\All ...\HBA\Intel
Tools and Drivers CD/DVD Windows 2008 64-bit R2 files: cdromdrive:\Windows\W2K8R2\Drivers\64bit\Display\Aspeed ...\NIC\Intel ...\Chipset\Intel\All ...\HBA\Intel
where cdromdrive is the drive letter of the CD/DVD drive that contains the Tools and Drivers CD.
In the following example, windows\x64 is for 64-bit Windows. All files must reside directly under the x64 folder or component subfolder (there should be no version sub-folders as found on the Tools & Drivers CD). See the following examples:
Windows 2008 64-bit WIM folder structure: \\yourshare\share\windows\x64\Display ...\nic ...\AHCI ...\Chipset
where \\yourshare\share is the share path you have set up on the network.
imagex /mountrw C:\windows_distribution\sources\install.wim 1 C:\win_mount
The first Windows image in the Install.wim file is mounted to C:\wim_mount.
A new Path And Credentials list item appears.
For example, the path and credentials for a 64-bit image might be:
<Path>\\yourshare\share\windows\x64</Path>
<Credentials>
<Domain>MyDomain</Domain>
<Username>MyUserName</Username>
<Password>MyPassword</Password>
</Credentials>
<?xml version="1.0" ?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State"> <settings pass="offlineServicing"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS"> <DriverPaths> <PathAndCredentials wcm:keyValue="1"> <Path>\\yourshare\share\windows\x64</Path> <Credentials> <Domain>MyDomain</Domain> <Username>MyUserName</Username> <Password>MyPassword</Password> </Credentials> </PathAndCredentials> </DriverPaths> </component> </settings> </unattend>
pkgmgr /o:"C:\wim_mount\;C:\wim_mount\Windows" /n:"C:\unattend.xml" /l:"C:\pkgmgrlogs\logfile.txt"
The .inf files referenced in the path in the answer file are added to the Windows image. A log file is created in the directory C:\Pkgmgrlogs\.
imagex /unmount /commit C:\wim_mount
The service image is now available and all the platform-specific drivers are added to the image.
