Introduction

This white paper provides the step-by-step instructions necessary to create and deploy operating system

images onto HP Compaq dc7700 Business PCs with RAID Striping (mode 0) or RAID Mirroring (mode 1)

capability.

To create and deploy images:

1. Find the RAID drivers, and then create the PXE images.

2. Build the reference system, install the RAID drivers, and then create the RAID-Ready operating system

image.

3. RAID configure the target machines, and then deploy the operating system images.

This process has three methods. Depending on administrator needs, you can install RAID drivers:

•Into a live operating system.

•Into an offline operating system image.

•Along with a new operating system using an F6 install.

Each of these methods requires different prerequisites for each environment. Please refer to the appropri-

ate prerequisites for your network later in this paper.

Warning: Creating RAID volumes may destroy any data on the target system’s hard drives.

Summary

In this section, you install the RAID drivers into the Windows PE PXE image so that the PXE operating sys-

tem recognizes RAID. You can omit this step if you use a DOS PXE image.

Installing RAID Drivers in PXE images - Windows PE

If you build a RAID-enabled master image:

•From scratch, go to “Building the Master Image – F6 Install” on page 3. Then proceed to “Image

Deployment” on page 5.

•From a previously-built image and you want to insert the RAID drivers into a live operating system, go

to “Building the Master Image – Online Prebuilt Operating System Image” on page 4. Then proceed

to “Image Deployment” on page 5.

•From a previously-built image and you want to insert the RAID drivers into an offline operating system

image, go to “Building the Master Image – Online Prebuilt Operating System Image” on page 4.

Then proceed to “Image Deployment” on page 5.

Building the Master Image – F6 Install

Summary

Use this section when a new installation of Windows XP onto a RAID capable computer is used as the ref-

erence machine for the deployment images.

Prerequisites

•Altiris Deployment Solution 6.5 or greater

•Reference computer - HP Compaq dc7700 Business PCs:

•RAIDcapable

• Intel Matrix RAID Controller

• Two or more hard drives of the same size

•CD-ROMdrive

• 3.5-inch floppy disk drive (USB floppy drive must have BIOS support)

• RAID does not need to be enabled or configured prior to installation

•Target computer - HP Compaq dc7700 Business PCs:

•RAIDcapable

• Two or more hard drives of the same size

•PXEBootenabled

• RAID does not need to be enabled or configured prior to installation

•HP Windows XP Professional SP2 CD-ROM

•RAID driver softpaq 33181

Instructions

1. Extract the softpaq to the default location on an available Windows computer.

2. Using the C:\SWSetup\SP33181\f6flpy32.exe program, create the RAID driver floppy.

3. Configure BIOS for RAID. For more information, see the white paper titled “Redundant Array of Inde-

pendent Disks (RAID) on HP Compaq dc7700 and dx7300 Business PCs.”

4. Boot from the Windows XP Professional CD-ROM.

5. Press F6 when asked to install third party SCSI or RAID drivers.

6. Insert the RAID driver floppy created in step 2.

7. When prompted to specify additional SCSI adapters, press S.

8. Select Intel ICH8R/DO/DH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH8R), and then press Enter.

9. Continue with the Windows installation.

10. After the installation is complete, verify that the RAID drivers loaded correctly by running the Device

Manager and checking for the Intel ICH8R/DO/DH SATA RAID Controller entry in the SCSI

and RAID controllers section. If the drivers did not load correctly, repeat this procedure.

11. Using your deployment server, create a deployment image of the reference computer.

Building the Master Image – Online Prebuilt Operating Sys-

tem Image

Summary

Use this section when an installation of Windows XP that has already been built on a RAID capable com-

puter is used as the reference machine for the deployment images. You will insert the RAID drivers into a

live operating system image using the Sysprep program.

Prerequisites

•Altiris Deployment Solution 6.5 or greater

•Reference computer

•CD-ROMdrive

• No RAID controllers required

•Target computer - HP Compaq dc7700 Business PCs:

•RAIDcapable

• Two or more hard drives of the same size

•PXEBootenabled

• RAID does not need to be enabled or configured prior to installation

•Repset

•Windows XP Professional Installation CD-ROM

•RAID driver softpaq 33181

Instructions

1. Boot the reference computer into Windows XP.

2. Extract the softpaq to an available Windows computer.

3. Create a folder called Sysprep in the root directory

4. Insert the Windows XP Installation CD.

5. Extract the contents of the DEPLOY.CAB file located on the installation CD at D:\SUPPORT\TOOLS\

(assuming D is the CD-ROM drive letter) into the Sysprep folder.

6. In the Sysprep folder, create a new text file called Sysprep.inf.

7. In the new text file, add the following text:

[SysprepMassStorage]

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&CC_0104 = C:\SWSetup\SP33181\iastor.inf

8. At a command prompt, run:

C:\sysprep\sysprep.exe –factory –reboot –activated

The computer reboots after Sysprep executes.

9. To verify RAID drivers were installed, open Sysprep.inf located in c:\sysprep. It should read:

[sysprepcleanup]

Service=iaStor

10. At a command prompt, run:

C:\sysprep\sysprep.exe –reseal –reboot

11. Using the deployment server, create a deployment image of the reference computer.

Image Deployment

Summary

The Altiris Deployment Console allows for the use of either a DOS PXE image or a Windows PE PXE

image. Since the procedures are different for the two operating systems, the following procedures docu-

ment both approaches.

DOS PXE

1. Create a new folder called RSETUP in the Deployment Share.

2. Copy repset.exe and raidcfg.exe to RSETUP.

3. Create a new text file in RSETUP called CPQSETUP.txt.

4. In CPQSETUP.TXT, add the following text:

English

SATA Emulation

IDE

*RAID

AHCI

5. Create a new job named Configure RAID in Deployment Console.

6. Insert a Run Script task into the new job using the following one line script:

F:\rsetup\repset.exe

Make sure the script operating system is DOS and that client running environment is the DOS PXE

Automation.

7. Insert a Power Control task to reboot the machine.

8. Insert a Run Script task using the following one line script:

F:\rsetup\raidcfg.exe /Y /C:<volume name> /L:<RAID mode level>

For example: /C:Volume1 /L:0

Edit the volume name and RAID mode level to suit the administrator. Make sure the script operating

system is DOS and that client running environment is the DOS PXE Automation.

9. Insert a Power Control task to reboot the machine.

10. Insert a Distribute Image task to run in DOS automation. Select the previously created RAID-config-

ured master image to deploy.

11. Schedule new jobs with target machines as desired.

Altiris Windows PE PXE

1. Create a new folder called RSETUP in the deployment share.

2. Copy BiosConfigUtility.exe from the SSM softpaq and raidcfg32.exe from the RAID softpaq to

RSETUP.

3. Create a new text file in RSETUP called CPQSETUP.txt.

4. In CPQSETUP.TXT, type the following:

English

SATA Emulation

IDE

*RAID

AHCI

5. Create a new job in the Deployment Console.

6. Insert a Run Script task using the following one line script:

F:\rsetup\BiosConfigUtility.exe /Setconfig:F:\ssm\CPQSETUP.TXT

Make sure the script operating system is Windows and that client running environment is the WinPE

PXE Automation.

7. Insert a Power Control task to reboot the machine.

8. Insert a Run Script task using the following one line script:

F:\rsetup\raidcfg32.exe /Y /C:<volume name> /L:<RAID mode level>

Edit the volume name and RAID mode to suit the administrator. Make sure the script operating system

is Windows and that client running environment is the WinPE PXE Automation.

9. Insert a Power Control task to reboot the machine.

10. Insert a Distribute Image task to run in WinPE automation. Select the previously created RAID config-

ured master image to deploy.
