Chapter 4 Prepare for Mass Storage Driver Delivery 17
Note – If your version of Windows Explorer does not natively support compressed
folders, use a third-party utility to extract the contents of the zip file. Make sure to
maintain the directory structure of the folders after extracting them.
f. Navigate to the folder where the extracted files reside, and then to the
appropriate folder (depending on the RAID controller in your server, Sun
StorageTek or LSI):
windows/RAID/LSI/floppy
–or–
windows/RAID/StorageTEK/floppy/2003
Note: For the X4450, you may need to look under the windows/boot folder.
Proceed to the next step.
3. Copy the .img file to a folder on the JavaRConsole system that will be available
during installation.
Note the .img file location.
4. To install Windows remotely using the Floppy Image method, proceed to
Chapter 5 to setup your remote console.
Create a Windows Server 2003 Media CD
That Includes Mass Storage Drivers
Using the Sun Reburn Script
The Tools and Drivers CD/DVD contains a script that allows you to create a new
Windows Server 2003 media CD with the necessary Sun StorageTek or LSI
SAS3081E-S RAID controller drivers. After creating the new CD, you can boot from
the CD and install Windows Server 2003 in the usual way. This CD will
automatically identify and select the proper drivers during the installation.
Note – Using the Reburn CD makes it unnecessary to use a floppy disk to provide
mass storage drivers during Windows Server 2003 installation. It does not install all
of the critical server-specific drivers. This must be done after Windows is installed as
described in Chapter 8.
