Windows Server 2012/2102 R2 FCoE Boot Installation
For Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 Boot from SAN installation, QLogic requires
the use of a “slipstream” DVD or iso image with the latest QLogic drivers injected.
See
“Injecting (Slipstreaming) QLogic Drivers into Windows Image Files” on
in the iSCSI chapter. Also, refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base topic
KB974072 at
, which is helpful for Windows Server 2012
FCoE Boot from SAN also. Microsoft's procedure injects only the eVBD and NDIS
drivers. QLogic strongly recommends injecting all drivers, especially those in
bold
:
eVBD
VBD
BXND
OIS
FCoE
NDIS
Once you have a properly slipstreamed iso, you can use that iso for normal
Windows Server 2012 installation, without needing USB-provided drivers.
NOTE
The boot initiator must be configured to point at the desired installation LUN,
and the boot initiator must have successfully logged and determined the
readiness of the LUN prior to starting installation. If these requirements are
not met, the devices will still show up in the drive list above, but upon
proceeding with installation Read/Write errors will occur.
NOTE
Refer to the
silent.txt
file for the specific driver installer application for
instructions on how to extract the individual Windows 8400 Series drivers.
