Procedure
1. On the OS Provisioning Server, copy /opt/FastScale/deployment to a directory on the Windows
machines on which you are creating the boot image.
For example, c:\Program Files\osp.
2. Right-click the Command Prompt icon and select Run as administrator.
3. From the Windows command line, change the directory to the location where you copied the
deployment files.
For example, c:\Program Files\osp\deployment.
4. From the Windows command line, run bin\osp --osphome="c:<Path to OSP files> --
deploymenturl=<OS Provisioning Server Private IP Address> --waik=<Path to
WAIK>".
Option Description
osphome
The path to the files copied from the OS Provisioning Server. For example,
c:\Program Files\osp\deployment. If you run the command from the
directory, you can use --osphome=.
deploymenturl
The OS Provisioning Server's Private Interface IP Address. The default
configuration is 10.11.12.1.
waik
Path to the Windows AIK files. For example, "c:\Program Files (x86)
\Windows AIK".
5. When the preinstallation environment and boot configuration are created, copy the directories from
the WindowsAIK machine to the OS Provisioning Server.
From Windows AIK Machine To OS Provisioning Server
[path]\deployment\output\Boot /FSboot/
[path]
\deployment\output\windows\amd64\winpe.wim
/FSboot/windows/amd64/
[path]
\deployment\output\windows\x86\winpe.wim
/FSboot/windows/x86/
What to do next
Copy the VCM certificate to the OS Provisioning Server to ensure the successful installation of your Linux
distributions. See "Copy the VCMCertificate to the OS Provisioning Server for Linux Provisioning" on
page 143.
Copy the VCMCertificate to the OS Provisioning Server for Linux
Provisioning
If you use the OS Provisioning Server to install Linux distributions, you must copy the VCM certificate file
to the OS Provisioning Server to ensure the certificate is included with the Agent when OS Provisioning
Server creates the configured session prior to provisioning.
Prerequistes
Ensure that you have access to the VMware_VCM_Enterprise_Certificate_*.pem file in the
\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VCM\CollectorData folder on the VCM Collector.
