Ghost a G7 to a Gen8

John 写了:Any SysPrep experts out there?

I am working with a customer who is wanting to augment his G7-based “golden build” to include Gen8 drivers, so he can capture it with “ghost” and have a unified image deployable from G5 thru G8. Their attempts to bundle drivers into a sysprepped image have failed.

I went thru a similar exercise this morning – downloading the raid, nic, chipset, and ilo drivers for a 380e Gen8 – unpacking them and including a line for them in sysprep.xml. Sysprep with OOBE option was run, I then ghosted the server and attempted to deploy to a gen8 – inaccessible boot device almost immediately after rebooting the server once the ghost finished.

So, have any of your customers done this very thing? Made a “unified image” between G7 and Gen8? My theory is that it is more than just the “hpsa.inf” that I need to bundle. IF so, what is it?

(And, unfortunately, this is the method that they are insistent on working with – no pxe /scripted / build methods are allowed, including RDP, ICSP, SA, or whatever… needs to be “sysprep + ghost” …)

Thanks!!!

Dan 写了:I don’t know the answer but might suggest you build the image on the Gen8, Sysprep, Ghost and deploy it back to the G7 and see if that works.

Chris 写了:Question on Sysprep, doesn’t it run once the server has been booted, so it has to be able to boot before it can add the drivers for the raid card?

Chuck 写了:Here is a trick I used to use-mostly successfully.

Load a G7 with your Golden image.
Add the Array controller that the Gen8 servers will be using (inserted but un-cabled).
Load the Array driver from SPP or smart component.
Capture the image as the baseline for your golden image.

John 写了:In my case, this is a no-go, because the raid controller at destination is embedded….
