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.

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 reference machine for the deployment images. Prerequisites • Altiris Deployment Solution 6.5 or greater • Reference computer - HP Compaq dc7700 Business PCs: • RAID capable • Intel Matrix RAID Controller • Two or more hard drives of the same size • CD-ROM drive • 3.

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.

. 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.

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.

8. Insert a Run Script task using the following one line script: F:\rsetup\raidcfg32.exe /Y /C: /L: 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 configured master image to deploy.
