We made it to the last Friday of August 2022! Before you get ready for the weekend (for me, that means hopefully sleeping in a bit and getting some gaming in!), let's get into today's Snap!
I have 3 external 22" 1080p monitors running with the lid of the laptop closed.
Hello! I have a Dell Latitude 5410 laptop with a WD19 Dell docking station.
Is there a way to choose the driver during the MDT Wizard?
"All Drivers and Package" as selection profile. That's why I suspect a driver conflict which appeared with new drivers injected in the WindowsPE image since I inject Moreover, in my case with the RAID controller, it was working before ! I updated my MDT version and ADK recently but the problem was already present with the previous (and original version in my case) version of our MDT server. Then in the WindowsPE option in MDT, for "x86" and "圆4" image, I chose "All Drivers and Package" as selection profile and I chose "Include only drivers of the following types" with network and mass storage drivers. I only have several folders and profiles for our different laptops and workstations which includes all drivers (including network and storage). So, in my case, I haven't do any folder for Windows PE drivers. So WindowsPE network drivers ("Net") for HP 250G7 in your example and Windows 圆4 drivers are not the same ? Are they special drivers for WindowsPE (maybe it's a silly question)? I will try shortly a new test with a boot image with a reduced amount of drivers which only concerns the motherboard we're working on. Since I have added all network and storage drives on my boot image, could it be a driver conflict during the beginning of the deployment or a wrong driver. The weird thing is that the task was working before (even with Intel RAID) but I didn't used it for months now and I have no idea why it doesn't work anymore now. Here is a link of a truncate log which the interesting information: I did some searches on the Internet but found nothing helpful so far. After some minutes of freeze, the following error occurs:įAILURE (7706): ERROR! Drive C: was not found!. However, after the deployment starts, the task hangs very quickly at this step "Format and Partition Disk (BIOS)" - "Preparing partition 2". YES ! The drive is online and its capacity is ok. When deployment wizard starts and after choosing my task, I used F8 console and then diskpart to see if my disk (RAID) is present or not. There is no problem if I switch to AHCI in the BIOS but it's not a solution so far since I would like to use a RAID array. The problem only occurs when I deploy the task on a computer which is based on an Intel RAID PCH for the system drive. However, I noticed recently that one task encounters a problem in the beginning of the deployment which was not present before. For many years, it has been running without any problem with several tasks.
DLL updates has been done for Windows 10 v2004. Look for the section labeled "Device Present" to see if there have been any drive failures and the Error Counters section for reported errors.I'm using MDT v8456 with ADK for Windows 10 v2004. I uploaded that file into the same folder containing MegaCli and ran the above command again, everything works as expected, the command spits out a bunch of information about the card. In that page there is a link to a place you can download the missing file from which I am including here for convenience. Some more searching brought me to this page. Unfortunately, this failed complaining about a missing library, libstorelib.so. The command to check the status of the card is as follows. The file will need to be made executable ("chmod 755 MegaCli").
There are two files in the zip archive, a text file with some instructions and the MegaCli file which I uploaded to a folder on my datastore, I then used ssh to log into the ESXi host and changed to the directory I uploaded the file to. I downloaded the newest one, " VMware - 4.6 - CV" which includes version 8.00.46 of the MegaCli software. The RS2BL040 is actually a rebranded LSI card, these instructions will probably work for most LSI RAID cards, Intel RAID cards and at least some Dell cards including apparently the Perc 5i.įirst you need the LSI MegaCLI Utility for vmware, it can be found at this link. I have solved this myself, I'm posting what I did in case it helps someone else.
