DL360 G6 p410i not sysprepping

[Melissa O'Brien]

Has anyone managed to get their custom sysprep working on a dl360 G6 with a p410i?

First it took awhile to figure out the G6's only like Windows install CDs with slipstreamed SP2 (and maybe SP2 R2 - not sure).

I am not building my image on a G6 machine. We build on a VM so we can use across models. For new array controllers, we usually just update sysprep with the latest SAS drivers and device IDs, but it's not working for my x86 or x64 images.

Trying it with SAS driver 6.14.0.64/6.12.0.64 and Device ID:

PCI\VEN_103C&DEV_323A&SUBSYS_3245103C = c:\Sysprep\Drivers\SAS\hpcissx2.inf

I'm stuck!!

Sorry i should clarify...

The Sysprep is completing FINE, but the sysprepped images won't boot on DL360 G6 machines. Just goes to black screen for about 15 seconds and reboots - not even a blue screen.

Hi


Try to install this with N lite software

you can embedded all drivers with this and do

do the activities


Try this if not please let me know

I've got the same thing here getting stop 7xb, support paq 8.30, all drivers work fine on anything else except for p410i

any luck with embedding?

Hi Mark G,

The lines in our sysprep.inf used to work with the minimum amount of parameters, because the INF would contain the proper device name, OEM txt location etc.

For example we used to have this:
PCI\VEN_103C&DEV_3220&SUBSYS_3225103C = C:\Sysprep\Drivers\SAS\hpcissx2.inf

and once we changed it to this, it worked:
PCI\VEN_103C&DEV_3220&SUBSYS_3225103C = "c:\sysprep\drivers\SAS\hpcissx2.inf", "\", "Smart Array SAS/SATA Windows Driver Diskette", "\txtsetup.oem"

No changes to where we stored the drivers in the image or anything. Just new INFs. Microsoft basically said this was a shortcoming with the driver.

Hope this helps!

I've now tried both driver sets, the image is fine works on all older blades and controllers it's the p410i that's the problem.

We havent' changed anything here just the hardware, and sure enough the server gets a stop 7xb every time it boots up

I've tried every driver I can find and nothing work with the p410i.

[Melissa O'Brien]

Yes we had the same thing. Image with sysprep worked on all blade and actually all DLs, MLs until the p410i was introduced.

Plug and play for this device ID is not correctly detecting the hardware.

Here's our entire hpcissx2.sys section...try adding these device IDs with all parameters to your sysprep (obviously you'll need to change the location of your driver):

PCI\VEN_103C&DEV_3230&SUBSYS_3235103C = "c:\sysprep\drivers\SAS\hpcissx2.inf", "\", "Smart Array SAS/SATA Windows Driver Diskette", "\txtsetup.oem"
PCI\VEN_103C&DEV_323A&SUBSYS_3245103C = "c:\sysprep\drivers\SAS\hpcissx2.inf", "\", "Smart Array SAS/SATA Windows Driver Diskette", "\txtsetup.oem"
PCI\VEN_103C&DEV_3220&SUBSYS_3225103C = "c:\sysprep\drivers\SAS\hpcissx2.inf", "\", "Smart Array SAS/SATA Windows Driver Diskette", "\txtsetup.oem"
PCI\VEN_103C&DEV_3230&SUBSYS_3234103C = "c:\sysprep\drivers\SAS\hpcissx2.inf", "\", "Smart Array SAS/SATA Windows Driver Diskette", "\txtsetup.oem"
PCI\VEN_103C&DEV_3238&SUBSYS_3211103C = "c:\sysprep\drivers\SAS\hpcissx2.inf", "\", "Smart Array SAS/SATA Windows Driver Diskette", "\txtsetup.oem"
PCI\VEN_103C&DEV_3238&SUBSYS_3212103C = "c:\sysprep\drivers\SAS\hpcissx2.inf", "\", "Smart Array SAS/SATA Windows Driver Diskette", "\txtsetup.oem"
PCI\VEN_103C&DEV_3230&SUBSYS_3235103C = "c:\sysprep\drivers\SAS\hpcissx2.inf", "\", "Smart Array SAS/SATA Windows Driver Diskette", "\txtsetup.oem"

The driver version we're using is 6.14.0.32.

If this doesn't work you may want to look at the version of storport.sys in your image, I believe there is a minimum version required by the latest SAS drivers...

Hi Melissa,

I have changed the sysprep and am about to try it but I'm wondering are you using the line buildmassstorage=yes in your sysprep.inf?

[Melissa O'Brien]

We've never used that switch, it takes too long. Plus in situations like this driver where the INF is not configured properly...

When we get new array controllers, we check the PnP device ID in device manager and add it appropriately. Hope this helps!

[mark q]

here's my sysprep mass storage section. I've changed it to match the format you suggested
