To create a VHD that sets a computer name and includes the OEM drivers
and Hyper-V, issue the following Windows PowerShell command:
New-NanoServerImage –DeploymentType Host –Edition
<Standard/Datacenter> -MediaPath <path to root of media>
-BasePath
.\Base -TargetPath .\NanoServerPhysical\NanoServer.vhd
-ComputerName
<computer name> –Compute -Storage -Cluster -OEMDrivers –
Compute
-DriversPath “<Path to Qlogic Driver sets>”
Example:
New-NanoServerImage –DeploymentType Host –Edition Datacenter
-MediaPath C:\tmp\TP4_iso\Bld_10586_iso
-BasePath ".\Base" -TargetPath
"C:\Nano\PhysicalSystem\Nano_phy_vhd.vhd" -ComputerName
"Nano-server1" –Compute -Storage -Cluster -OEMDrivers
-DriversPath
"C:\Nano\Drivers"
In the preceding example,
C:\Nano\Drivers
is the path for QLogic drivers.
