Deploying WinPE on the Virtual Appliance

You need to perform the following configuration tasks before using ASM to deploy Windows OS.

NOTE:

You should use Microsoft ADK 8.1 or ADK 8.0 installed in the default location..

1. Create a Windows repository with Windows installation media on the ASM appliance. For more

information, see Create a repository with Windows installation media on ASM Appliance

2. Create a WinPE image to support Windows 2008 R2, Windows 2012 or Windows 2012 R2

deployment for bare metal or a VMware virtual machine, and update install media for Windows 2008,

Windows 2012 or Windows 2012 R2 to include drivers and necessary updates to support ASM. For

more information, see Creating WinPE Image and Update Install Media for Windows 2008, Windows

2012 and Windows 2012 R2

3. Copy WinPE, install media to the ASM repository, and update permissions for all files in the

repository. For more information, see Copying WinPE and Install Media to ASM Repository and

Updating Permissions

Create a Repository with Windows Installation Media on ASM Appliance

1. Log in to the virtual appliance with the user name delladmin.

2. Copy the Windows.iso file to the directory /var/lib/razor/repo-store/

3. Using a text editor, create a /tmp/windows_repo.json

file with the following content:

{

"name": "<your windows repo name>",

"iso-url": "file:///var/lib/razor/repo-store/<windows ISO name>.iso"

}

4. To register the .iso file, run the following command. At command line interface, you have to enter

your delladmin password.

"sudo razor create-repo --json /tmp/windows_repo.json"

5. To verify whether or not the repository is created, run the following command:

"sudo razor repos"

6. Run the following commands to extract the .iso file

from the directory /var/lib/razor/repo-store to

the directory /var/lib/razor/repo-store/< your window repo name>. Make sure that your

Windows .iso file is available in “repo-store” directory where you run the following commands.

"sudo mount -o loop /var/lib/razor/repo-store/<windows_ISO_name>.iso /mnt"

"sudo rsync -av /mnt/ /var/lib/razor/repo-store/<your Windows repo name>"

"sudo umount /mnt"

7. Update permissions for the directory, by running the command:

"sudo find <your Windows repo name> -print0 | sudo xargs -0 chown

razor:razor"
