4. Continue with the rest of the installation. After installation is complete and booted to SAN, execute the provided Windows
driver installer and reboot. Installation is now complete.
NOTE: The boot initiator must be configured to point at the desired installation LUN, and the boot initiator must
have successfully logged and determined the readiness of the LUN prior to starting installation. If these
requirements are not met, the devices will still show up in the drive list above, but upon proceeding with installation
Read/Write errors will occur.
WINDOWS SERVER 2012 FCOE BOOT INSTALLATION
For Windows Server 2012 Boot from SAN installation, Broadcom requires the use of a “slipstream” DVD or iso image with
the latest Broadcom drivers injected. See Injecting (Slipstreaming) Broadcom Drivers into Windows Image Files in the iSCSI
chapter. Also, refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base topic KB974072 at support.microsoft.com, which is helpful for Windows
Server 2012 FCoE Boot from SAN also. Microsoft's procedure injects only the eVBD and NDIS drivers. Broadcom strongly
recommends that all drivers, especially those bolded, are injected:
•eVBD
• VBD
• BXND
•OIS
•FCoE
• NetXtreme I NDIS
Once you have a properly slipstreamed iso, you can use that iso for normal Windows Server 2012 installation, without
needing USB-provided drivers.
