Windows R2 integrated RAID card driver
Some time ago, the company has a new batch of servers, the installation of the operating system found unable to detect the hard disk, it is obvious that the Windows Server installation files do not include the new server RAID card driver, although you can use the server equipped with the boot disk to complete the installation, but it is too inefficient to do so, And they can't be installed in batches. Therefore, the most convenient way is to integrate the driver into the WINODWS server.
Remember when using Win2003, to integrate the driver into the installation file is a more troublesome process. Fortunately, this installation of the system is windows2008 R2, through its own tools DISM.exe can easily accomplish this thing.
Here are the steps for the operation, and we need to integrate the relevant drivers into the Install.wim and Boot.wim files in Windows Server.
1. Use software such as Ultraiso/winrar to extract the Install.wim files from the original ISO and place them in any location, such as D:\install.wim.
2. Create an empty folder to load the mapping file in the WIM, here with D:\temp.
3. Next we need to open a command prompt with "administrator". (Note that the upper-left corner should have the word "administrator" and, if not, that the current command prompt is not running as an administrator)
Run the command in the following format:
Dism/mount-wim/wimfile:[install.wim Path]/index:[image volume serial number to mount/mountdir:d:\temp
The command is interpreted as follows:
/winfile: Specifies the location where the Install.wim file is stored, D:\install.wim.
/index: Specifies the number of image volumes to mount, that is, you want to mount the consolidated system version, run
Dism/get-wiminfo/wimfile:d:\install.wim See the number of mappings contained in Install.wim, as shown here, we need to use Enterprise version, so the serial number should be 3.
/mountdir: Specifies the directory where the mounted files are stored, that is, D:\temp.
The complete command is:
Dism/mount-wim/wimfile:d:\install.wim/index:3/mountdir:d:\temp
When the command is complete, review the D:\temp directory to see the files that have install.wim loaded.
4. Integrated drive.
You can install the same server first, and then use the drive Backup utility to back up the drive. I am using the 360 driver master here, to backup the driver to the D:\drivers directory.
Use the following command to consolidate the drive
dism/image:d:\temp/add-driver/driver:d:\drivers/recurse/forceunsigned
/image: Specifies the directory location where the WIM file is mounted, D:\temp.
/drver: Specifies the location where the drive file is stored, D:\dirvers.
/recurse is used to query for drivers in all subfolders.
/forceunsigned is used to add unsigned drivers to an image, and some drivers that do not have a Microsoft signed license will not be added if you do not use this command.
Once added, you can run dism/image:d:\temp/get-drivers to view the driver integration situation, as you can see that the drivers that we want to integrate are already included in the list.
5. Now begin the re-integration of the mappings and perform the following command operation
Dism/unmount-wim/mountdir:d:\temp/commit
When you are finished, you can find that the D:\winmount folder is empty and the Install.wim file size will change.
Next, use UltraISO to open the source file, replace the original file with the generated Install.wim, and then save it.
If you want to load the driver for each version contained in the Install.wim, just repeat the above operation.
6. Next, we repeat the above 1-5 steps for the Boot.wim file
After completing the above steps, the new driver is perfectly included in Windows Server, and now we can use it to deploy the server.
