As a WinPE boot CD with XenServer paravirtualized Network Driver Create installed. -

First of all this is not a supported configuration Citrix so at your own risk use ! This procedure is a guide provided those to support the implement using WinPE systems and want the improved performance of paravirtualized network driver.

In this blog I'll cover how to successfully build Windows 8 Pre- Installation Environment boot disk with XenServer 6.5 paravirtualized drivers installed

Assumptions

  • The installation package is extracted in the local path e. Citrix
  • the driver path after extraction is E: Citrix 6_5_PE_install installer pe
  • The ADK8.bat bundled scripts directory to install the following preconfigured destination for the resulting WinPE ISO c: pedisc pe8-% 3 .iso. The path must be created or the script processes the ISO in a path to place, there are
  • The WinPE build directory c :. Windows8-x86 (in step 5 below created)

step-by-step process

  1. download and the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows ® 8
  2. Download the XenServer 6.5 PE install bundle [1945010installieren]
  3. Extract install the package ZIP file
  4. to start the ADK environment as an administrator "Run as administrator"
  5. create the WinPE build environment simply use the command .:

C: Program files (x86) Windows Kits 8.0 Assessment and Deployment Kit Windows Preinstallation environment copype.cmd x86 C: windows8-x86

6. Run enter ADK8.bat the following command:

consumption: ADK8.bat [x86|x64]

e: Citrix 6_5_PE_install installer pe scripts ADK8 .bat C: windows8-x86 media sources boot.wim e : Citrix 6_5_PE_install installer pe x86

7. Copy ISO ISO storage repository

8. boot VM using the new ISO created

9. Make sure that the PV drivers by running the command ipconfig / all and searching for "XenServer PV Network Device" in the description field of the network adapter

NOTE loaded: you will not see an optimized message in XenCenter and is not receiving power have control over, because the agent is not installed / running.

additional information

the XenTools included in the installation package are of XS65E002.

The latest PE scripts can be found on GitHub

Unfortunately, an administrative installation of the official driver package performs and then in the prepared directory structure place does not work consistently. For this reason, the installation ZIP is provided in the process above, because the drivers are pulled directly from the build directory before the MSI will be built. An example of the command, extract the drivers from the MSI is administratively: msiexec / a "D: citrixxendriversx86.msi" / log c: drvpe admin.log

The log contains the path the places the driver. I'm just here in case anyone providing'll try to make it work in my experience, the operation fails with the extracted drivers have been.
