Install SAN (Windows Server 2012 R2 and 2008 R2)

In this procedure you will inject Windows server 2012 R2 host drivers into the Windows server 2012 R2 DVD image. This procedure assumes the following:

• There is either a Windows 8.1 or Windows 2012 R2 host with a local hard drive.

• PowerShell is installed on the Windows host.

  ---

  Note -  PowerShell is not supported by Windows 2008 R2.

  ---

• The Windows Automated Installation Kit is installed on the Windows host.

• You have the Windows Server 2012 R2 DVD.

• You have downloaded the Windows host drivers version 5.2.2-WIN to the Windows host.

1. Browse the admin user of the Windows host.
2. Create the temporary folders.

   • For Windows 2012 R2:

     • C:\Temp\win2012r2

     • C:\Temp\300

     • C:\temp_mount

   • For Windows 2008 R2:

     • C:\Temp\win2008r2

     • C:\Temp\300

     • C:\temp_mount

3. Copy the contents of the Windows server 2012 R2 DVD to C:\Temp\win2012r2 and the contents of the Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD to C:\Temp\win2008r2.
4. Unzip the hostdrivers_windows_5.2.2_FREE.zip file and copy the file structure into C:\Temp\300.
5. Navigate to C:\Temp\300\hostdrivers_windows_5.2.2-WIN_FREE\ xsigos-5.2.2.4\xsigo\PEdrivers\.
6. Run the XsigoPkgAddToW2k8_to_W2k12R2_DVDImage.bat file in PowerShell with the appropriate arguments.

   The batch file has the following syntax:

   XsigoPkgAddToW2k8_to_W2k12R2_DVDImage.bat win2012r2 path-to-DVD-contents path-to-drivers driver-folder-name path-to-WAIK temporary-mount-point where:

   win2012r2

   OS DVD folder location. This folder must have write access for the current user.

   path-to-DVD-contents

   File path to the DVD that contains the modified OS image.

   path-to-drivers

   Path to the host drivers.

   driver-folder-name

   Path to the folder on the DVD where the host drivers exist.

   path-to-WAIK

   Full file system path to the location of the Windows Automated Installation Kit.

   temporary-mount-point

   Temporary mount point for the batch file to use.

   For example:

   XsigoPkgAddToW2k8_to_W2k12R2_DVDImage.bat win2012r2 C:\Temp\win2012r2 C:\Temp\
   300\xsigos-5.2.2.2 xsigos-5.2.2.2 "C:\Program Files\WindowsAIK" C:\temp_mount

7. Verify that the command runs without any errors.

   Press any key if the command seems to be taking a while or not responding.

8. Perform the steps to upload the DVD image to a WDS server, and complete the OS installation.
